With the winter meetings in the rearview mirror for the Chicago Cubs, the team was mostly quiet, and there are still some needs to address.
Coming off a strong season in 2025, the Cubs appeared to be a team heading in the right direction. However, they have some looming questions, and the most significant one is the status of free agent slugger Kyle Tucker.
It would be a shock at this point if Tucker signed with Chicago, and his departure will leave a void in the lineup. While there could be some internal options that will help replace production, Tucker was an NL MVP candidate in the first half of the year, and it would behoove them to try to sign an All-Star slugger to replace him.
