MacKenzie Gore Drawing Trade Interest from Teams like Cubs

The Washington Nationals are reportedly 'listening' to trade offers for left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore, though a move is considered a long shot by ESPN. Gore, 26, has posted a 3.59 ERA with 140 strikeouts in 112 ⅔ innings this season and remains under team control until after the 2028 season. The Chicago Cubs have been specifically mentioned as a potential suitor, given their need for a frontline starter and deep farm system.
