“With a losing record and so many teams in front of them in the National League, the Chicago Cubs don’t foresee a scenario in which they become buyers at the July 30 trade deadline, according to sources familiar with the team’s plans. That comes with an acknowledgment that the Cubs don’t have great pieces to sell, though they do have an expectation to contend in 2025, leaving them stuck in the middle. Unless the Cubs somehow get creative and become opportunistic. Most front offices use those buzzwords at this time of year, and the Cubs remain in listening mode. Though the asking price would surely be astronomical, those conversations could theoretically include offers for standout left-hander Justin Steele.”
