Chicago Cubs Not Listed Among Teams 'Expected' To Make Bid for Superstar

The Chicago Cubs are not listed among the teams "expected" to make a bid for free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa, according to a report from The Athletic. The report states that the Cubs are "unlikely" to be a major player in the Correa sweepstakes, as they are focused on other areas of need, such as pitching and outfield depth.

The Cubs have been linked to Correa in the past, but it appears that they are not serious contenders for his services. Correa is one of the top free agents on the market, and he is expected to command a large contract. The Cubs are not in a position to make a significant financial commitment to Correa, as they are already over the luxury tax threshold.

The Cubs are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished with a record of 74-88. They are looking to improve their team in the offseason, but it appears that they will not be making a major push for Correa. The Cubs are more likely to focus on adding depth to their roster, rather than signing a big-name free agent.
