MLB rumors: Cubs target $350M Padres MVP to boost title hopes

Following a 2025 playoff exit and the likely departure of Kyle Tucker, the Chicago Cubs are reportedly targeting San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. as a major offseason acquisition. Tatis Jr., a dynamic two-time Platinum Glove winner with a long-term contract, is seen as an ideal replacement to bolster Chicago’s offense and solidify their outfield for years to come.
