The Chicago Cubs missed the postseason for the fourth straight season in 2024 after finishing with a record of 83-79.
It was their second straight year finishing in second place in the National League Central with their last division title coming back in 2020.
The Cubs will be looking to make some changes to their roster this offseason as they prepare for the 2025 season to try and get back to the postseason.
MLB Insider Joel Sherman reports that the Cubs are determined to trade two players before the 2025 season.
According to B/R Walk-Off on ‘X,’ Sherman reports that the Cubs are determined to trade either Cody Bellinger or Seiya Suzuki.

Both of these players had productive seasons for the Cubs in 2024 so it is likely that other teams will be interested in them.
Bellinger played in 130 games where he batted .266 with 18 home runs, 78 RBIs, and a .751 OPS.
Suzuki played in 132 games where he batted .283 with 21 home runs, 73 RBIs, and a .848 OPS.
Bellinger is a former Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player award winner with the Los Angeles Dodgers while Suzuki has had three productive seasons with the Cubs after coming into the league in 2022.
The Cubs are looking to shake things up in 2025 after missing the playoffs for the last four years.
Both of these players could be targeted by teams once the top free agent Juan Soto makes his decision on where he will play in 2025.
The Cubs will look to improve in 2025 and get their club back to the playoffs in an attempt to win their fourth World Series title in franchise history.
