The Chicago Cubs, led by Jed Hoyer, find themselves in the midst of a challenging stretch that could significantly reshape the franchise’s trajectory. Once considered potential buyers at the trade deadline, the Cubs’ recent struggles have shifted their position, with many around the league now viewing them as likely sellers.

Despite the swirling speculation and trade rumors, the focus temporarily shifts to the upcoming 2024 MLB Draft. This presents the Cubs with a crucial opportunity to bolster their farm system with fresh, young talent. According to MLB Pipeline’s latest mock draft, the Cubs are projected to select rising pitching star Trey Yesavage from East Carolina.

“Yesavage would be a nice addition to what has become a hitter-heavy Cubs system,” MLB Pipeline noted. “James Tibbs, Christian Moore, and Cam Smith would be leading hitting contenders, with Seaver King, Ryan Waldschmidt, and Stanford catcher Malcolm Moore also getting looks.”

Pitching depth has been a noticeable weakness for the Cubs, making Yesavage an appealing choice. Although he wouldn’t provide immediate major league impact, his potential to develop into a key rotation piece is significant.

Yesavage had a standout 2024 season at East Carolina, starting 15 games and posting an impressive 11-1 record with a 2.03 ERA. His 145 strikeouts and just 32 walks further highlight his elite potential and ability to dominate at the collegiate level.

While Yesavage seems a strong fit, other prospects like Christian Moore and James Tibbs III, both position players, have also been linked to the Cubs. Ultimately, the Cubs will have several talented options available with the 14th overall pick.

The upcoming draft represents a pivotal moment for Hoyer and the Cubs. While adding a top pitching talent like Yesavage would address a critical need, selecting the best overall player available remains the priority. The Cubs’ decision will significantly influence the organization’s future, making this draft a key event to watch for fans and analysts alike.
