SHOULD THE CUBS GO ALL IN?  The Chicago Cubs have hit a rough stretch, and with the trade deadline approaching, the question is simple: Is it time for Jed Hoyer to make a blockbuster move? In today’s episode of Chicago Cubs Central, we break down why San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb could be the PERFECT trade target to stabilize the Cubs’ rotation and give Chicago the frontline starter they’ve desperately needed. But why stop there? We also discuss why contact-hitting machine Luis Arraez may be the missing piece for a Cubs offense that has been too inconsistent and too reliant on the long ball. Could these two stars be exactly what the Cubs need to make a serious playoff push?  In this episode:  Why Logan Webb fits perfectly in the Cubs rotation  How Webb would help solve the bullpen issues  Why Luis Arraez’s bat changes the entire lineup  Potential trade packages Jed Hoyer could offer  Whether the Cubs should go ALL IN for 2026  What happens if Chicago stands pat at the deadline With stars like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Seiya Suzuki, and Nico Hoerner already in place, are the Cubs just one blockbuster away from becoming true World Series contenders? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!   Would YOU trade top prospects for Logan Webb and Luis Arraez?  Subscribe to Chicago Cubs Central for daily Cubs news, trade rumors, analysis, and live reactions! #ChicagoCubs #Cubs #MLB #LoganWebb #LuisArraez #JedHoyer #MLBTradeRumors #CubsNation #WrigleyField #ChicagoSports #Baseball #MLBTradeDeadline #CubsCentral #PeteCrowArmstrong
