The Chicago Cubs are in the midst of an offseason that is designed to get them back to the National League playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season. One of the big moves they have made during the offseason was trading for slugging outfielder Kyle Tucker of the Houston Astros.

The Chicago Cubs aren't coming bolstering their roster for the 2025 season, but fans are going to have to be patient until it's able to happen.
