With the World Series already underway, MLB free agency is getting closer by the day.
One team that will certainly be active on the free agent market looking to improve its roster and return to the postseason for the first time since 2020 is the Chicago Cubs. Here are five potential targets for the Cubs to sign.
Corbin Burnes
The Chicago Cubs front office has announced that this is the case main priority this offseason is to sign a starting pitcher at the front of the rotation and there is no better option than Burnes.
After one of the best seasons of his career with the Orioles, posting a 15-9 record and a 2.92 ERA, Burnes will be the most sought-after free agent pitcher on the market. Burnes’ contract with the Cubs would reunite him with his former manager in Milwaukee, Craig Counsell.
Signing Burnes would give Chicago’s rotation a right-handed starting pitcher, along with the two aces from the left side in Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga.
