The Chicago Cubs are focused on enhancing their bullpen by exploring both trade options and free agency. Reported interests include Astros' Ryan Pressly and a range of free agents such as Kenley Jansen and David Robertson. The organization recently made a significant offer for Tanner Scott, indicating a potential shift in their strategy towards acquiring relievers. Trading Pressly could benefit both teams and impact the free agent market, as it helps the Astros manage their financial commitments while adding a potential closer for the Cubs.
Pressly stands as the most interesting name in many regards. A trade involving the longtime Houston stopper would have major ramifications for two clubs and ripple effects throughout the rest of the free-agent market.
The Cubs recently finished runner-up to the Dodgers in their quest to sign Tanner Scott, putting forth a reported four-year, $66MM offer that broke all recent precedent for Chicago's approach to bullpen acquisitions.
