Cubs Eye Rhys Hoskins for Roster, Explore Positions for Christopher Morel

Infield Prospect James Triantos Likely to Surface in Trade Talks

The Chicago Cubs are reportedly considering Rhys Hoskins as a potential addition to their roster, viewing him as a good fit for their need for a middle-of-the-order hitter.
Hoskins, who previously helped the Philadelphia Phillies transition from a rebuilding team to a World Series contender, is seen as an opportunity to add an impact player with postseason experience without a long contract commitment.
Hoskins, who will be 31 next season, had a successful track record with the Phillies, generating 34 home runs and 96 RBIs in 2018 and leading the NL in walks in 2019.
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has also mentioned that Christopher Morel will be playing first base in winter ball, sparking discussions about finding him a permanent position.
Cubs infield prospect James Triantos is also likely to be discussed in trade rumors, following his impressive performance in the Arizona Complex League in 2021 and the Arizona Fall League.
