Part 2/9:
In a segment on MLB Network’s Hot Stove, Jon Morosi highlighted Cody Bellinger and Nico Horner as key players that could be moving from the Cubs to the Mariners. The Mariners are known for their robust pitching staff, which includes talented arms with years of control remaining. The Cubs are reportedly eyeing some of this pitching talent, making a trade more plausible.
