The post MLB rumors: Jeff Passan suggests Cubs-Guardians Shane Bieber blockbuster trade appeared first on ClutchPoints.

One year ago, the Cubs openly said they were approaching the trade deadline with an eye toward 2025. Well, 2025 is here, and the time to strike is now.

The MLB trade deadline is just a few days away, and the Chicago Cubs are reportedly pursuing starting pitching help.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is on Thursday, July 31 and the Arizona Diamondbacks are in the middle of rumors, speculation and chatter. The team has already traded Josh Naylor and Randal Grichuk for pitching prospects.

The Miami Marlins are reportedly getting more trade interest for their ace, Sandy Alcántara. The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers make sense as fits.

The Chicago Cubs are not ending their pursuit of the trade deadline's top player even though they may not need him.
