The overwhelming expectation is that the Chicago Cubs won't be a serious bidder for Kyle Tucker this offseason, which leads to the larger question of how the Cubs will replace Tucker in the starting lineup. The immediate answer will likely be Owen Caissie, but it would be a mistake if the Cubs went into 2026 without some veteran insurance.
That premise seems to be at the center of the Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller listing the Cubs as a potential suitor for Trent Grisham. Grishman is set to become a free agent, but the question remains whether or not the New York Yankees will extend the qualifying offer to the 28-year-old outfielder.
