Should the Chicago Cubs go all-in at the trade deadline?

Which team in baseball do you think needs to be the most aggressive at this trade deadline to turn themselves from a very good team into a legitimate contender? I look at the Chicago Cubs because I think it’s multifaceted too, right? with the second you traded for Kyle Tucker, you gave up some good pieces. I support that when you’re going all in to win the World Series, but you got to follow that up with more moves, right? They weren’t a Kyle Tucker away from being a World Series team. They’re really good. And I think they’ve got a shot. Any team can get hot and make a run. But the second they made that move, it was like, I think you got to do more now. And the pitching staff looks good. You know, Matthew Boyd has been a revelation. He’s been really fun to watch. But you look at that bullpen. You look at the rest of the staff. If you’re really trying to make a push in the postseason, you got to go for it and give that indication. And the Cubs also have one of baseball’s strongest farm systems with multiple top 100 prospects that are already on the 40man. Owen Casey, power hitting corner outfielder, is on one of the best heaters also right now in AAA. Moises Bisteros. He’s catcher more bat driven, but he’s coming along defensively. Plenty of teams would love to have that guy. And then Kevin Alcantra. He’s a plus defender in center field. There’s some swing and miss concerns, but teams will take a chance on a guy like that with good power, can stick in center any day of the week, and those are all guys that are already in AAA. So, if you’re a GM acquiring those guys, you feel a little bit more comfortable about the proximity and also just the the hit rate there.
