Cubs Eyeing Major Offensive Boost at Trade Deadline
The Chicago Cubs, currently holding a modest 30-31 record and in the playoff picture, are looking to add a big bat before the 2024 trade deadline. President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has expressed the need for more home-run power and is exploring options to improve the team's offensive output, particularly at third base, catcher, or designated hitter. The Cubs have struggled offensively over the past month, and Hoyer's flexibility in player positions could influence their trade targets.
