The Cubs, yes, will be making smaller moves constantly (like yesterday’s Drew Pomeranz addition), but MAJOR trades are always extremely unlikely this early.

CUBS LINEUP — On April 8, 2024, the Cubs blew an 8-0 lead to the Padres, and it felt like a defining moment for that team. Something about fate or luck (… or talent) just not being on their side.
