Over the weekend, there was an uptick in rumors connecting the Chicago Cubs to free-agent third basemen, with reports confirming they not only have renewed interest in Alex Bregman, but also are keeping an eye on Eugenio Suarez. Both Bregman and Suarez were connected to the Cubs at the MLB trade deadline, and for differing reasons, it makes sense why Chicago would circle back to either player this offseason.
Bregman remains an above-average fielder at third base, and his bat, while showing some power regression, would help the Cubs' efforts to replace Kyle Tucker's impact.
