The Chicago Cubs are going to be buyers at the deadline. They're going to look at trading for reinforcements for their bullpen, if the right deal comes along. David Robertson was not the right deal.
After sitting out most of the 2025 season, Robertson finally made a move, throwing for interested teams on Saturday and signing with the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. While some Cubs fans might be a bit angry at Jed Hoyer for losing out on the reliever's sweepstakes after he had a successful run in Wrigleyville in 2022. However, with the details that have come out since his signing, Hoyer made the right call.
