Chicago Cubs, not in on Juan Soto, not in on Max Fried.

They're not going to pay the big bucks to do that,

but could they possibly be in on a Blockbuster- type trade to shake up this lineup and perhaps really bring a star bat into the offensive lineup, something that we've been clamoring for

for a while? Now, the big ticket item right now is the Chicago Cubs are trying to trade Cody

Bellinger. Part of that reason I think is twofold. One, he does have value right now.

I think there are some teams that are going to lose out on Juan Soda that could look at

Cody Bellinger as a consolation prize.

He opted into his deal.

And while I like Cody Bellinger as a baseball player, $27.5 million is a bit of an overpay.

Can the Cubs get out of that money and maybe

spend it somewhere else? Maybe on a closer, maybe on Pete Alonzo at first base. The possibilities

can be opened up a little bit if you can move Cody Bellinger off the roster. The other one,

surprisingly at the winter meetings that is now on the table, is with

the Chicago Cubs entertain trading Sayah Suzuki.
