Former White Sox infielder and current Los Angeles Angels player Yoán Moncada has resurfaced as a potential target for the Chicago Cubs. As the Cubs attempt to improve their roster at the trade deadline an upgrade at third base has suddenly popped up on their to-do list and Moncada is the latest option to be connected to the Cubs in trade rumors.
The Cubs reportedly had strong interest in Moncada this past offseason, when he was a free agent and ultimately decided to sign with the Angels. The switch-hitter agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Angels. According to Francys Romero, the Cubs offered Moncada a $3 million salary for the 2025 season.
Now, as we’re two weeks away from the MLB trade deadline Moncada could be on the move and the Cubs are among several teams that make sense as a landing spot.
