Guardians Cy Young Award winner linked to Cubs in trade proposal
The Chicago Cubs, though they're currently neck-and-neck with the Milwaukee Brewers for the lead in the National League Central, have a serious need of starting pitching on their team, though the offense is doing stellar thanks to the breakout of NL MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong.
But according to Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report, the Cubbies could be in line to land the 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner as he continues to recover from his surgery.
In Reuter's article laying out one move for each MLB team to make before the 2025 MLB deadline, he labeled the Cubs making a trade with Cleveland to give them their ace in exchange for Chicago's No. 5 prospect Jonathon Long.
Reuter calls back to last year when the Guardians pulled this kind of move at the trade deadline to pick up a then-rehabbing Alex Cobb, who ended up starting for the team as they advanced to the postseason and made it to the ALCS before losing to the New York Yankees.
Cleveland and Bieber agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract this past offseason, and is still on his way back to the pros, striking out 14 batters in 7.1 innings over his first three rehab starts, clearly still showing signs of the Bieber of old.
The Cubs still have just over 24 hours to make this move, assuming they want it that badly.

Tom Brady statue will be unveiled by New England Patriots Friday. Here's how to watch.
The Tom Brady statue outside Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts will finally be unveiled Friday by the New England Patriots. Owner Robert Kraft will reveal the 12-foot statue in a 15-to-20-minute ceremony with Brady before the Patriots first pre-season game against the Washington Commanders. Brady is the first player in Patriots history to have a statue at the stadium in his honor. In an interview last week, Kraft said Brady has not seen the statue yet. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. at Patriot Place Plaza, next to the team's Hall of Fame. You can watch it live on WBZ-TV before the broadcast of the Patriots-Commanders game. It will also be streamed on the Patriots official website. Parking lots will open at 3:30 p.m. and gates at the stadium will open early at 5 p.m. so fans with tickets can see both the ceremony and game in person. The Patriots also said there will be "optimal viewing" of the ceremony on the video boards inside Gillette Stadium. Kraft and the Patriots had hoped to unveil the statue last year, but Brady's NFL broadcasting season with FOX never brought him to Foxboro, so the statue was put in storage and the ceremony was moved to 2025. The Patriots retired Brady's number 12 in June 2024. He retired after the 2022 season after winning six Super Bowls with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady was drafted in by the Patriots in 2000 in the sixth round and took over as the starter from Drew Bledsoe in the 2001 season. He won three NFL MVP awards and five Super Bowl MVPs in his career. He turned 48 on Sunday, August 3.
