With the offseason moving right along for the Chicago Cubs, there is still quite a bit of work to be done for the franchise. However, there could be one player who makes sense as a solution to a pressing problem. 

It was a very successful campaign for the Cubs in 2025. Following an active offseason, the team was able to snap its playoff drought and make it back to the postseason. While the team likely would have wanted to have a little more success in October, it felt like a step in the right direction for the franchise. 

Now, they have entered the winter with several question marks for the team. The most looming question will be the status of their star outfielder, Kyle Tucker. It feels more and more likely that he is going to be a one-and-done player with Chicago, which will leave a significant void in the lineup. However, while losing Tucker would hurt the team on offense, they also have a pressing need in another area.Â
