Cubs linked to potentially poaching key pitcher from Yankees

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer talks to the media after introducing pitcher Shota Imanaga (not pictured) during a press conference at Loews Chicago Hotel.

The Chicago Cubs are expected to be busy throughout the course of the MLB offseason. Just how busy and what kind of players they will target remains to be seen.

So far, the biggest move that Jed Hoyer and the front office has made was signing veteran relief pitcher Phil Maton. While that move could end up being a solid addition, the Cubs could use more help in the bullpen.

Of course, Chicago also needs to address adding another starting pitcher to the rotation. Hoyer will also need to consider an offensive upgrade, more than likely at third base. With Kyle Tucker likely leaving town, bringing in another productive bat would be a wise decision.

When it comes to adding another reliever, an intriguing name has come up as a possible target for the Cubs.

Cristian Crespo of Just Baseball has named Chicago as one of the top potential free agency destinations for New York Yankees relief pitcher Luke Weaver.

“Until proven otherwise, the Cubs won’t be in the top-tier market for players at any position,” Crespo wrote. “Seeing that Weaver does not project to make that kind of money with his new deal, he would be a great option for a team looking for stability in a high-leverage role.”

Weaver put together a solid 2025 MLB season with the Yankees. He appeared in 64 games, compiling a 4-4 record to go along with a 3.62 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP, a 3.6 K/BB ratio, 64.2 innings pitched, eight saves, 21 holds, and four blown saves.

At 32 years old, Weaver could be a solid multi-year option for the Cubs. Depending on the price tag, he could be an elite option for Chicago this offseason.

There are quite a few other teams around the league who will also have interest in Weaver. However, it would not be surprising to see the Cubs consider pursuing him.
