While that move was a solid flier to take, the Cubs have been pretty quiet ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Fans were hoping to see Jed Hoyer and the front office take a much more aggressive approach to the offseason this year. Unfortunately, that hasn&#8217;t been the case.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, Chicago was involved in the bidding war for a high-profile starting pitcher. Dylan Cease was a player that the Cubs clearly wanted, but they weren&#8217;t willing to pay what the Toronto Blue Jays were willing to offer. That led to the team missing out on yet another top-tier free agent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being able to sign Cease, Chicago remains interested in dipping into the starting pitching market. There are plenty of players who could fit what the Cubs need.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping that in mind, MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand has suggested an intriguing option for Chicago. He thinks that Arizona Diamondbacks&#8217; free agent starter Zac Gallen might be a name to watch for the Cubs this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Angels, Giants and Tigers are among the teams in on Gallen, sources said, with the Orioles, Cubs and Braves also looking at the 30-year-old,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/starting-pitching-free-agent-market-2025-update\">Feinsand wrote<\/a>. &#8220;If the price tag on starters such as Su\u00e1rez, Imai and Valdez feel too high for some clubs, Gallen could be a strong alternative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155592\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155592\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-155592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Zac Gallen, Chicago Cubs\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Zac-Gallen-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Frerker-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gallen is not in the top-tier of free agent starting pitching arms. However, he&#8217;s a serviceable starter who would add an intriguing skill-set to the Chicago rotation.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2025 MLB season with the Diamondbacks, Gallen made 33 starts. He compiled a 13-15 record to go along with a 4.83 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, a 2.7 K\/BB ratio, and 192 innings of work completed. Gallen may not be an ace, but he would be an intriguing addition depending on the price tag that he commands.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not the Cubs will actually pursue Gallen or not remains to be seen. He has been connected to the team on multiple occasions, but Feinsand&#8217;s report shows that there are quite a few teams interested in signing him.<\/p>\n<p>With the amount of rumors that keep popping up connected to Chicago, fans should buckle up for a wild offseason. There will be quite a few disappointments, but it does seem clear that Hoyer and the front office are looking to make some moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Cubs made an intriguing addition to the bullpen early during the MLB offseason, signing veteran reliever Phil Maton to a multi-year contract.
