The Chicago Cubs hope to be in play for a top free agent.
With four straight seasons without a playoff appearance as well as zero playoff wins since 2017, the fans in Wrigleyville deserve better than the product the Cubs have put on the field. It doesn't look great either that one year after making Craig Counsell the highest paid manager in the history of baseball, Chicago doesn't even have a single extra win to show for it, finishing 83-79 for the second consecutive season.

This is all on top of the reality that the Mets may be more willing to pony up the cash to retain Alonso after he has had a phenomenal postseason thus far, highlighted by the clutch 9th inning three-runof the Wild Card round while down 2-0 to win the game and send the Mets into the divisional round. Alonso would hardly be the first player to cash in the following offseason off a strong postseason, and whether that is staying with his current team or going elsewhere, that will likely be the case.
The longer the Mets run goes on and Alonso keeps up strong play, the higher the price goes for Chicago, the more willing the Mets will be to pay him, and potentially even the more Alonso's desire to stay with the team increases. For Cubs fans hoping to see Alonso belting homers over the Ivy Wall in 2025, rooting interest probably lies in a swift Mets exit from the postseason.
