Could the Cubs help the Rangers further cut payroll with a huge blockbuster trade?

The Texas Rangers are having a heck of a week. Amidst a bunch of rostering deadlines on the MLB calendar, the 2023 World Series champions surprisingly non-tendered outfielder Adolis Garcia, who now appears to be an under-the-radar Chicago Cubs free-agent target, then traded Marcus Semien to the New York Mets, picking up Brandon Nimmo in the swap.

In less flashy news, they non-tendered relievers Josh Sborz and Jacob Webb, along with once-star backstop Jonah Heim. After finishing with a .500 record in 2025 and having not made the playoffs since 2017 ,besides that championship season, the Rangers may be nearing yet another rebuild.
