MLB: Chicago Cubs at Arizona Diamondbacks

The Chicago Cubs are expected to be near the top of the NL Central in 2025. The Cubs traded with the Houston Astros this offseason for Kyle Tucker in the hopes that the star outfielder would be a key piece for a postseason run.

On Sunday, the Cubs made cuts to their roster before they board a plane to Tokyo on Tuesday. Chicago will play their regular season opener on March 18 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following a two-game start to the regular season, the Cubs will return to the Cactus League for a few more games before their regular season resumes for good on March 27 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Per a report by Ken Rosenthal and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, the Cubs are looking at adding veteran pitchers Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn to their rotation if something happens to a pitcher in Japan.

Per The Athletic:

“Even the Chicago Cubs, relatively healthy at the moment, are among the clubs seeking potential rotation help, a search that might intensify depending on how they fare in their season-opening series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18-19…

The Cubs are keeping Gibson and Lynn on their radar in case issues arise after the team’s early ramp-up for spring training and long trip to Japan, sources say…

At the moment, the Cubs aren’t in a position to promise Gibson or Lynn a spot in their rotation, much less guarantee that either pitcher would make the major-league club by a certain date. But the seemingly nonstop injury news coming out of Arizona and Florida means all 30 clubs will continue looking for pitching. Even ones that appear to be set.”

Lynn, a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, had a 143-99 record and a career ERA of 3.74. He won a World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011. He most recently made an All-Star appearance in 2021.

Gibson, a native of Greenfield, Indiana, has a 112-108 record and an ERA of 4.52. He last made an All-Star appearance in 2021.

Cubs fans react to the report

Cubs fans reacted to the report on social media. Many weren’t excited about the idea of adding Lynn or Gibson, thinking that at 37, they might not have the juice Chicago needs in their rotation.

“I’d rather have Bauer,” wrote a fan.

“Just stick with Keller. He’s been good,” suggested another.

“Why would Lynn even be on the radar,” asked a fan.

“No they are terrible,” argued another.

“Gibson probably wouldn’t be bad, stay away from Lynn,” suggested a fan.

“We don’t need the lance lynn floaters flying out of wrigley,” commented another.
