Chicago Cubs Linked to Trade That Would Boost World Series Chances originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball so far this season. While they have been playing at an impressive level throughout the first half of the 2025 campaign, they could still use an upgrade or two.

There is no doubt the Chicago Cubs are having a fantastic 2025 season thus far, but with one of (if not the best) offenses in Major League Baseball, they have aspirations of making a deep run in the postseason.

As the Chicago Cubs head into the All-Star Break, their hold on first place in the NL Central is hanging by a thread. The starting rotation slumped in June, key arms have gone down with injuries, and now the front office must act decisively before the July 31 trade deadline.
