Cubs free agent target: Trevor Rogers
Here’s a left-hander who hasn’t been mentioned much in connection with the Cubs, but I think Trevor Rogers might actually be a very good fit as a free agent starting pitcher.
Rogers had a bumpy start to his career with the Marlins, missing quite a bit of time due to injuries, including a lat strain which cost him most of the 2023 season.
He’s been mostly healthy since the Orioles acquired him at the deadline in 2024 for Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers, a rare trade that helped both teams. Rogers made a career-high 30 starts in 2026 and posted a 4.03 ERA and 1.185 WHIP, a 2.2 bWAR season that registered lower on the WAR scale than his 2025 (5.3 bWAR with a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts).
