Ex-Dodgers Star’s Probable Cubs Pursuit Faces Brutal Reality Check as Insider Sounds Alarming Trade Warning

The Chicago Cubs might be aiming for a bold offseason, but not every move is a masterstroke. While fans dream of game-changing acquisitions, reality has other plans. As the front office eyes another veteran arm, the excitement is met with a collective groan. Because if there’s one thing Chicago doesn’t need, it’s another nostalgia-fueled gamble on fading velocity.

The Cubs have made another move and this time, it is for their pitching rotation. According to Bob Nightengale’s report, the Cubs are now negotiating with ex-Dodgers pitcher, Lance Lynn. He even mentioned that it would be a one-year major league deal.

The Cubs are negotiating a 1-year deal with Lance Lynn, per @BNightengale.@dan_bernstein wants no part of Lynn on the Cubs.

"They don't need another guy throwing 90," Bernstein says.

"That is a bad fit."

This news has not been taken well by all the fans as the guys on 670 The Score, want no part of Lynn in their organization. Dan Bernstein said, “They don’t need another guy throwing 90, That is a bad fit.”

If the Cubs were looking to spark enthusiasm, this move is more of a wet match than a roaring fire. Banking on declining velocity feels less like strategy and more like wishful thinking. Unless Lynn has a secret time machine, Chicago might be watching more bat flips than strikeouts this season.
