Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report listed the North Siders as a potential landing spot for right-hander Carlos Estevez, who was an All-Star with the Los Angeles Angels in 2023. "With Tanner Scott off the board to the Dodgers, all eyes turn to Carlos Estévez as the most noteworthy closer still available," Miller wrote.

The Chicago Cubs could certainly use another high-leverage reliever in their bullpen. The ideal signing may just be a target of one of their division rivals.
