The Chicago Cubs are hoping to make a comeback down the stretch in the regular season and get into the playoffs. While that scenario is very unlikely, the hope is still alive.

However, assuming that doesn’t happen, the team is expected to be very busy in the offseason.

Jed Hoyer wants to get the Cubs back into contention in 2025. He has been very vocal about that goal. In order to make that happen, some roster moves will need to be made.

One move that Chicago is being predicted to make involves trading a major fan favorite.

Zachary Rotman of FanSided has predicted that the Cubs will end up trading outfielder Mike Tauchman in the offseason to make room for younger players who will be ready to play.

If the Cubs don’t want to trade these prospects away, they’re going to have to open room for them somehow.

Getting rid of Tauchman would be the easiest way for them to accomplish that goal.”

Looking at the farm system, Chicago has a lot of talent in the outfield.

Names like Owen Caissie and Alexander Canario are getting close to being MLB ready.

Tauchman has been a fun player to watch. He brings energy each and every night and has made quite a few clutch plays.

If he is moved, he will be missed by the fan base.
