As the deadline has snuck up, the two clear needs the Cubs are expected to try to add are starting pitching and third base.

| 7/11/25 | Nationals' Kyle Finnegan Shockingly Not Found on Newest MLB Trade Deadline Big Board. If MLB fans and analysts alike were polled on which Washington Nationals player has the most value right now and is the likeliest to be traded, many people would select closer Kyle Finnegan. Finnegan isn't going to blow away opponents, striking out only 26 batters in 33.1 innings, but remains a reliable arm at the end of games with 18 saves thus far in 2025. Alas, Finnegan isn't the only pitcher Washington has who could be of value to other teams around the league. One name to keep an eye on is starting pitcher Michael Soroka, who has cracked the MLB trade deadline Big Board 2.0 put together over at The Athletic by Tim Britton, Aaron Gleeman and Chad Jennings.

| 6/28/25 | Important Nationals Reliever Has Setback, Shut Down for Few Days. The Washington Nationals have had bullpen troubles all year long. Entering Saturday with a unit that owns the second-worst ERA in all of Major League Baseball (5.74), their relief staff is one of the biggest reasons why the Nationals are 14 games under .500. Following the trade deadline, things could get worse on paper since the expectation is Kyle Finnegan is going to get moved, something that would hurt Washington's chances of closing out games. The hope was by the time their veteran closer gets dealt they would get back another key part of their bullpen, with Derek Law returning from the right forearm inflammation that has kept him on the injured list since the start of this campaign.
