Tarik Skubal’s message to Detroit fans all but confirms he’s staying put, meaning the Cubs’ hopes for a Cy Young-level ace just took a hit. Add to that the news that Ryan Helsley is off to Baltimore and insiders doubting a Sandy Alcantara trade, and it’s clear Chicago’s options are drying up fast. With 2026 in mind, the Cubs need to act quickly if they want to avoid last year’s pitching woes. Who do you think the Cubs should target next, and is it worth trading top prospects for an ace? #Sports #Baseball #Cubs
