Chicago Cubs Free Agent & Trade Rumors, Notes, & Tidbits
The latest Chicago Cubs free agent and trade rumors, along with notes and tidbits about the team.
It sure is easy to hate East Coast media. I guess it's technically true that Bellinger would be a good fit on the Yankees but the Cubs are rolling right now! I know he writes for the NY Post and panders to his audience but given that the Cubs play in the second-worst division in baseball, are 3.5 games behind the Reds (of all teams), and are currently 8-2 over their last ten makes a mention of Bellinger feel more like wishcasting than useful information.
According to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun Times, Marcus Stroman discussed an extension with the Cubs during Spring Training.
Stroman, 32, has the ability to opt out of his three-year, $71 million deal after the season. Given how Stroman has pitched so far this season, the opt out seems likely should the pitcher remain healthy during the season.
What kind of deal would you expect Stroman to receive in an extension? And what is a good comp for the diminutive hurler?
By the way, this is the first piece from our new free agent and trade rumors section. You can find a link to this page in the Cubs Resources widget on the forum index page.
