The Chicago Cubs face pressure at the trade deadline to make the most of their start to the season, but not every player available is a fit.

Cubs Predicted to Cut Ties With Top Prospect at MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball and have sat atop the NL standings for much of this season. That means, like for many teams, the trade deadline will likely be about acquiring established MLB talent to fill areas of need.

The Chicago Cubs declared themselves to be “all-in” this past offseason when it came to making the playoffs. The team hasn’t made the postseason since the abbreviated 2020 season and hasn’t actually won a playoff game since 2017.
