The Chicago Cubs are actively seeking to improve their catching position after a disappointing season. Despite trying various options, including Miguel Amaya and Tomas Nido, offensive production remained subpar, prompting the Cubs to explore free agency.

Moises Ballesteros, a promising prospect, has shown offensive prowess but his defensive skills are still developing. The Cubs are optimistic about his future but are cautious about promoting him too soon, as they want to ensure he gains the necessary experience behind the plate.
