The Chicago Cubs are contemplating significant trades this offseason, potentially parting ways with star players Cody Bellinger and Nico Hoerner. A proposed three-team trade could see them acquire All-Star pitcher Luis Castillo and top catching prospect Harry Ford from the Seattle Mariners, while sending Bellinger to the Philadelphia Phillies and Hoerner to Seattle.

This trade could bolster the Cubs' rotation and provide a promising catcher, but conflicting reports raise questions about their willingness to trade Bellinger, who carries a hefty price tag despite his performance.
