Cubs Part Ways with Veteran Players

The Chicago Cubs have non-tendered outfielder Mike Tauchman and infielder Nick Madrigal, making them free agents, as part of a series of roster adjustments. Tauchman, who had a solid performance over the past two years, was let go due to a crowded outfield and his projected $2.9 million arbitration salary. Madrigal, plagued by injuries, struggled to secure a consistent role with the Cubs. The team also signed contracts with several players, including Matt Thaiss and Julian Merryweather, and made additional roster moves to prepare for the 2025 season.

"Cross-Town Swap: White Sox and Cubs Explore 3 Trade Packages"

The Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs could potentially make a trade that benefits both teams. The White Sox could offer left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer, who has been unlucky with his run prevention due to bad luck and defense behind him. In return, the Cubs could provide infield defense to help Bummer thrive. Additionally, the White Sox could regain former player Nick Madrigal, who would play second base for them. Madrigal's position with the Cubs is limited due to other players in the mix, making a move back to the White Sox worth considering.

Chicago Cubs Receive Positive Injury Updates on Swanson and Madrigal

The Chicago Cubs received positive injury updates on shortstop Dansby Swanson and second baseman Nick Madrigal. Swanson, who has been dealing with a heel injury, may be able to return to the lineup during the upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, the timeline for his return remains uncertain. Madrigal, on the other hand, could start a rehab assignment with the Iowa Cubs soon and potentially rejoin the team early next week. The return of both players could create a playing time dilemma, particularly at third base, but having Madrigal back would undoubtedly strengthen the team.
