1 day agoAccording to Matthew Trueblood of NorthSideBaseball.com, the Chicago Cubs have inquired about a potential trade to acquire San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Michael King. Throughout the season, the Padres have looked to shed payroll as Dylan Cease and Luis Arraez have been discussed in trade talks but have yet to be dealt. However, according to sources, the Cubs have shown interest in trading for King, and both sides have begun discussions. King is eligible to reach free agency at the end of the 2025 season, which could lower his cost in a trade package as he may only be viewed as a rental. According to Trueblood, sources have indicated that the Cubs may send multiple young, controllable pieces, such as outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara and right-handed pitchers Ben Brown and Javier Assad. The Cubs have also shown interest in Padres closer Robert Suarez. If King were to get shipped to the Northside, expect the Cubs to attempt to extend him to a long-term contract, especially if Brown or Alcantara are in the package. Last season, King made a career-high 30 starts and held a strong 2.95 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP across 173 2/3 innings.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
