Chicago Cubs urged to listen to trade offers for outfielder
The Chicago Cubs will enter the All-Star break knowing they need to make a run in the second half of the regular season.
The Cubs are 50-40 before starting their three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. They’re 6.5 games back from the Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the National League Central but hold a 1.5-game lead in the wild card hunt.
Chicago has stayed steady in the playoff chase despite having serious turmoil with the starting pitching rotation and in the bullpen. The Cubs are expected to add arms before the trade deadline on Aug. 3.
Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan of ESPN argued the Cubs need to listen to offers for right fielder Seiya Suzuki as they look for pitching help. Suzuki, 31, is set to hit free agency after this season.

“Chicago wants to get creative to fill its pitching issues, and that means at least listening on Suzuki, who will be a free agent at the end of the season,” they wrote. “Considering the paucity of impact outfielders available, Chicago could try to take advantage of the market and lean into its depth with Michael Conforto and Kevin Alcantara.
“At the same time, Chicago’s offensive woes make dealing a hitter of Suzuki’s caliber potentially counterproductive. The Cubs want to win this season, but their May swoon hasn’t entirely abated in June, and they might not have a clear sense of how they want to approach the deadline until it nears.”
Suzuki is batting .264 with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs this season. Losing Suzuki would mean Chicago would lose one of its most reliable bats, but that could be an acceptable tradeoff for a team that needs pitching help.
ESPN only gives a 15 percent chance that the Cubs will trade Suzuki, so it’s unlikely to happen. But the idea is worth considering for Chicago given the desperate need in the bullpen.
