A potential trade target the Chicago Cubs had at the MLB trade deadline could be on the move this offseason. The Cubs confirmed the obvious this week, stating that pitching will be their priority this winter, and that includes looking at potential trades for cost-controlled starting pitchers. That could lead the Cubs back to MacKenzie Gore, a name they were linked to last July.
While working through the potential pitchers available on the trade market this winter, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon confirmed that Gore was a "good bet to go".
