It would require a ludicrous overpay, like the kind that isn't even realistic for it to make sense.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/nico-hoerner-drawing-trade-interest.html Unless the return is huge, there is no way this makes even the slightest bit of sense. Yeah, you could probably get fairly similar production between 2B/3B from a combination of Shaw/Nico and Shaw/Bregman but it would also come at the cost of an additional 20M in payroll in 2026 and that's ignore the next 4 or 5 years they'd also have Bregman signed for.

Chicago Cubs Have "Renewed Interest" In Alex Bregman
Tryptamine replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You bothered to read the last 2 pages? -
The only positive you can take from the meetings is that at least they aren't the Mets
-
Blah blah blah, we do this every year and every year it's disappointing.
-
Stone was a deep deep deep dive. Undrafted FA in '22, Threw 20 innings in A ball at age 24 to some pretty terrible results. I'm interested to hear what the appeal was. Ortiz too looks entirely unappealing, so I'm intrigued to know why. He's going to be 27 by opening day.
-
Damn, not a single Cub was taken in either portion of the rule 5. I wonder when the last time that happened was?
-
I'm legit baffled. If ever there was a time to take one, this was it. There's so many spots to fill,
-
They have like 8000 roster spots....
-
Watch Baltimore is going to add Ryan Helsley, Pete Alonso, Framber Valdez and Edward Cabrera. I'd be ridiculously jealous.
-
He's headed to Miami for Cabrera or Washington for Gore
-
He's unplayable at 3B, they already have Basallo who will mostly man DH, Alonso will be at 1B. He's as blocked as blocked gets.
-
Watch the Orioles trade for Edward Cabrera now that Coby Mayo has no place to play.
-
Not that I wanted Alonso per say, but funny to watch even the Orioles be more aggressive than Jed
-
I know he's an athlete and all, but knowing that Rivers is older than me and knowing how badly a blind side hit would mess me up, family and friends really should be discouraging him from doing this.
-
Losing Finnegan on such a reasonable contract really sucks.
-
Honestly not sure how Horton wouldn't have to be involved. I'm not sure Wiggins is enough to headline without another big big prospect be 1b to Wiggins 1A
-
Apparently the Orioles offered Schwarber the same deal but the Phillies chose to match it. Interesting considering the Orioles also supposedly had the largest offer for Burnes last year. It looks like the new owner is willing to spend, but no one is taking the money. I'd almost be surprised at this point if Baltimore doesn't walk away with one of Framber, Ranger or Alonso.
-
Part of me wishes we had lost Hoyer and not Breslow.
-
Sure sounds like the Orioles are doing them darndest to land a top arm like Framber as well as a top bat like Alonso/Schwarber. Wont it be fun when we can even look at the Orioles and think, man that must be nice.
-
Has there been a single FA the Cubs haven't been linked to outside of Alonso and Tucker? It's the same thing every year.
-
using Shaw as a utility and 2B heir apparent has grown on me

Week 15: Bears vs Browns Sunday at noon on fox
Tryptamine replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Myles Garrett has 20 sacks this year, the Bears have 24 -
What can I say, I'm a huge hit tool believer. I put that above all other tools. I think it's easier for guys with premier hit tools to give up some contact for power than it is to go the other way on guys with power tools and low hit tools
-
Not sure I move him for Gore, Ryan absolutely, but Gore I waiver.
