Cubs Eyeing Bregman: What’s Their Backup Plan? 

The Chicago Cubs are in an interesting position as they explore their options for third base this offseason. With Alex Bregman seemingly out of reach due to his contract demands, the Cubs are considering Justin Turner as a backup plan. This raises some intriguing questions about the direction of the team and the future of their infield.

First off, how do you feel about the Cubs potentially signing a veteran like Turner? At 40 years old, he still managed to put up decent numbers last season, but can he really be the bridge to the future for a young prospect like Matt Shaw? Would a one-year deal for Turner be a smart move, or should the Cubs be more aggressive in pursuing younger talent?

Moreover, if the Cubs do go with Turner, what does that say about their confidence in Shaw? Is it a sign that they want to ease him into the major leagues, or does it indicate a lack of faith in his readiness?

And let's not forget about Bregman. If he ends up signing elsewhere, what does that mean for the Cubs' long-term strategy? Are they missing out on a prime opportunity to secure a top-tier player, or is it better to focus on developing their own talent?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these developments. Do you think the Cubs are making the right moves, or are they playing it too safe? What bold predictions do you have for their infield in the upcoming season? Let’s discuss!
