    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images A look back at last year. The Cubs appeared to be headed toward another deadline selloff until they won eight in a row in late July. That, along with Dansby Swanson’s reported plea to Jed Hoyer to not sell off every year, prompted the Cubs to make a couple of small “buy” deals at the deadline.

    • A look at Cubs trades in the expansion era: 2022
    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The jury’s still out on some of these. The Cubs didn’t make any offseason trades in the winter of 2021-22 after the big selloff, instead limiting many transactions to guys they would sign in anticipation of selling them off at the deadline to rebuild the farm system. And that’s exactly what happened. March 25: Acquired Esteban Quiroz from the Rays for H...2024
