Will Jed Hoyer Go "All In" at Cubs Trade Deadline?

Update: 2025-07-29

Description

How do Assad, Wicks, Horton, Brown, and Rea fit into a deadline strategy that will still include adding arms? I discuss who’s worth trading Owen Caissie for (Ryan, Gore, Cabrera), whether a Keller/Bednar package makes sense, and why big rental combos likely don’t. I touch on the impact of a lefty-heavy rotation, the trade-offs between Shaw and Suarez at 3B, Horton’s rise, Wicks’ delayed return, and why Sandy Alcantara may not be the priority.
