The Chicago Cubs have been getting abysmal production from their bench players in 2025, and something needs to be done to address this issue.
The way I see it, there are two things the Cubs' front office can do. The obvious one is to acquire a new bat before Thursday's trade deadline. The main candidate thrown around is Arizona's Eugenio Suarez, who will almost certainly be on the move after the Snakes traded Josh Naylor last Thursday. If the Cubs were able to snag Suarez, he would slot into the starting third base role for the rest of the season and Matt Shaw could be relegated to the bench.
