Chicago Cubs reportedly eyeing free agent pitcher Corbin Burnes

yardbarker.com

The Chicago Cubs are reportedly among the top five teams interested in free agent pitcher Corbin Burnes. Burnes, who had a strong 2024 season with a 15-9 record and a 2.92 ERA, is a former rival of the Cubs. Burnes previously played for the Milwaukee Brewers and has a good relationship with Cubs manager Craig Counsell. His addition could significantly strengthen the Cubs' pitching rotation, which currently lacks depth in right-handed starters. With other options like Walker Buehler signing elsewhere, the Cubs may need to act quickly to secure Burnes. The competition for his services is expected to be intense, given his impressive track record.
