The Chicago Cubs are getting bolder.
Jim Bowden of The Athletic said on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that the Cubs made a significant offer to four of the best FA players following the agreement on the contract.
According to Bowden, Chicago announced its intentions to recruit Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, Matt Chapman and Reece Hoskins and offered a specific amount.
It is unlikely to recruit all four, but adding only two of them will allow the Cubs to build a strong power. 헤라카지노도메인
Bellinger, who played for Chicago in 2023, hit 26 home runs and posted a slash of 0.307/0.356/0.525. He also contributed greatly to the team with a WAR of 4.4.
Montgomery is a necessary player for the Cubs, who are strengthening their rotation. Montgomery, who played for the Texas Rangers in the 2023 World Series, posted an ERA of 3.2 in 188.2 innings.
However, Montgomery prefers to stay in Texas, but if Texas does not make a big offer, he may go to the Cubs.
Chapman is a top defender. Despite obvious concerns about batting, he is still considered a player who can help the Cubs. He hit 17 home runs last season with a WAR of 4.4, but only 0.240/0.330/0.424 slashes.
Hoskins is known to be the cheapest of these.
Hoskins, a first baseman, escaped an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury he suffered during spring training in 2023.
With 30 home runs in the 2022 season, he has played more than 100 games each season and hit at least 27 home runs every year except in 2017 and 2020.
