Bleed Cubbie Blue · Jul 26, 2021
Will Jed Hoyer trade all the Cubs’ core players this week?
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports We are four days and a few hours from MLB’s trade deadline, which is set for this Friday, July 30 at 3 p.m. CT.
The Cubs have 10 players on their active roster who will be free agents after 2021: Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, Zach Davies, Matt Duffy, Rex Brothers, Adam Morgan, Dan Winkler, Robinson Chirinos and Ryan Tepera. Also on the active roster with 2022 options and/or buyouts: Andrew Chafin, Craig Kimbrel and Jake Marisnick. Free agents in the organization, either in the minor leagues or on the injured list: Jake Arrieta, Kyle Ryan and Jose Lobaton.
That’s a lot of players who are very likely going to be gone from the Cubs in 2022.
