Report: Cubs eyeing Astros' Pressly
The Chicago Cubs are among several teams interested in trading for Houston Astros reliever Ryan Pressly, a source told Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston.
However, Pressly hasn't waived his no-trade clause, according to Alexander.
The Astros could also increase their chances of re-signing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman if the club moves Pressly to create financial flexibility, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Houston has reportedly been shopping the 36-year-old since November.
Meanwhile, the potential addition of Pressly could give Chicago a veteran presence in high-leverage situations to pair with young closer Porter Hodge.
Pressly, who's set to make $14 million in 2025, posted a 3.49 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 58 strikeouts over 59 appearances in 2024. He owns a 2.81 ERA with 111 saves and 11.1 K/9 over the last seven years with the Astros, which includes two All-Star nods and a 2022 World Series ring.
