Given that Kyle Tucker is expected to sign with another team in free agency this offseason, the expectation is that the Chicago Cubs will try to sign another hitter who can help fill the void Tucker will leave in the middle of the Cubs’ lineup.
Since Tucker is left-handed (which provided a nice contrast to the other right-handed hitters Chicago has, such as Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner, and Seiya Suzuki), it would be nice if the Cubs could acquire another lefty slugger.
As it turns out, the two free agents that make the most sense in this regard have both played with the Cubs in the past: Kyle Schwarber and Cody Bellinger.
