Major Injury Could Derail Cubs Final Offseason Move

The more I think about it, Zac Gallen would be a great fit for the Chicago Cubs and he’d be the cherry on top of a very good offseason heading into the 2026 season. Veteran arm, durable, a long track record of success and while the totality of his previous year is rough, Gallen really only had a tough first half before turning the corner. Ideally, the Cubs can sign Gallen to a contract that allows him to only opt-out after multiple years, but that’s probably the sticking point in negotiations.
