With the MLB trade deadline right around the corner, here's why the Chicago Cubs will not be big buyers.
have been stuck in a major slump of late. After a strong start to the season that showed promise of being potential contenders, things have completely fallen apart.
As currently constructed, there are too many holes to fill in one trade deadline. Chicago needs help in the bullpen, at the closer position, at third base, and catcher. There is no way the front office can acquire enough talent to plug the holes. If the Cubs opt to be buyers, the situation would have to be perfect. They would need to acquire players that can help them compete this season, but also have team control for the future.What seems more likely is that Chicago will wait for the offseason. Plenty of talent will be available and they could look to spend then to turn the team around.
