How Tomas Nido Can Aid the Struggling Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have hit a rough patch, currently sitting at 4-6 in their last 10 games. It’s evident that significant changes are needed before the July trade deadline.

Areas Needing Improvement
–Lineup Overhaul: Nearly the entire lineup requires an upgrade.
– Starting Pitching: Reinforcements are needed to strengthen the rotation.
– aBullpen: Possibly the weakest area, in desperate need of improvement.

Despite their struggles, the Cubs, with a 35-39 record, are only 1.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, indicating they are still in contention. With a strong farm system, the Cubs could make significant moves at the trade deadline.

Recent Acquisition: Tomas Nido
The Cubs have already made a move by signing Tomas Nido after he was released by the New York Mets. Here’s why this move could be beneficial:

1.Defensive Upgrade:

Nido, a 30-year-old catcher with league experience since 2017, is known for his defensive skills.

2. Current Catcher Performance:

The Cubs’ current catchers, Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya, have struggled offensively. Gomes was designated for assignment to make room for Nido.

3. Potential Offensive Contribution:

Although Nido’s career slash line is .214/.251/.313, his recent performance of .229/.261/.361 with three home runs suggests he could provide an upgrade over Gomes and Amaya.

4. Flexibility:

This move gives the Cubs flexibility. If Nido struggles, the Cubs can still pursue another catcher before the trade deadline.

Future Moves
If Nido doesn’t perform as needed, the Cubs could target other catchers like Elias Diaz, although his success might be influenced by playing in Coors Field.

By addressing these areas and making strategic acquisitions like Nido, the Cubs can improve their chances of turning the season around and contending for a playoff spot.
