Cubs catching carousel continues – Is this finally the answer?

The Cubs are reportedly close to a deal with Carson Kelly. Does this move the needle for them? Is Kelly the answer to their catching woes, or just another placeholder? With a catching prospect pool already including Miguel Amaya and Moises Ballesteros, what does this signing mean for their development? Is a trade brewing? Are the Cubs prioritizing immediate improvement, or simply filling a roster spot? Let’s hear your thoughts on Kelly’s potential impact and what this means for the Cubs’ future behind the plate.

Bold prediction: This signing signals a trade involving one of the Cubs’ existing catchers. Amaya seems the most likely candidate, but could Ballesteros be a surprise inclusion in a larger deal? Discuss!

While some see this as a shrewd buy-low move, others view it as another example of the Cubs' frugal approach to team building. Are the Ricketts truly holding back, or is this simply a calculated gamble on a bounce-back candidate? Weigh in with your take on the Cubs' offseason strategy.

Finally, let’s talk trade scenarios. If the Cubs are indeed shopping one of their catchers, what kind of return could they realistically expect? What teams might be interested, and what players could be involved? Get creative and share your proposed trades!
