Cubs' Trade Deadline Choices Suggest No Re-Sign for Kyle Tucker, Despite Optimistic Outlook from ESPN

The Chicago Cubs' decision to retain all their top prospects ahead of the MLB trade deadline appears to confirm longstanding speculation: the team is unlikely to prioritize re-signing Kyle Tucker once he becomes a free agent this offseason. By keeping promising players like Owen Caissie and Kevin Alcantara, the Cubs are preparing for the possibility that Tucker's tenure with the team may end soon. However, for optimistic fans, ESPN's Jeff Passan offers a more hopeful outlook regarding Tucker's future with the Cubs.
