Cubs Reportedly Interested in Bichette, Listening on Hoerner

They now have to look elsewhere to enhance the starting rotation, but Jed Hoyer’s offense will need an upgrade as well. Kyle Tucker’s departure has left a void in the lineup, and the Cubs have several different options to try and replace that production.
Jon Heyman reported on Thursday afternoon that the Cubs have shown interest in free agent Bo Bichette, who can play several positions around the infield. It’s been reported that Bichette is open to playing second base, which could factor into the Cubs’ plans.
