The Chicago Cubs should strongly consider Dallas Keuchel

The Chicago White Sox designated Dallas Keuchel for assignment on Saturday. For those who don’t know, that means that they cut him. He was so brutal for them in 2022 that it had to be done. To be honest, because of that fact, he would be perfect for the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs are a very bad team. Yes, they beat the White Sox on Saturday because they took advantage of Tony La Russa’s incompetence. However, despite their struggles through the first third of the season, the White Sox are significantly better than the Cubs.

That is why Dallas Keuchel would be a great fit on the north side. They are so bad that they are going to be much better off losing a lot more games in 2022. They should be able to land a top-five pick with this disgrace of a roster and Keuchel could help with that.

It is obvious that they need someone to eat innings on the mound too which is exactly what you are going to get from him. Along the way, he is going to walk lots of guys and allow a lot of hard contact which is why he was cut but it will matter so much less with the Cubs.

The Chicago Cubs should consider bringing in Dallas Keuchel as he was just cut.

If anything, the pressure being off Keuchel might help him relax. The Cubs aren’t going anywhere so it isn’t like he is going to be in the middle of a pennant race or anything like that. He would make a great depth arm for them in what promises to be a horrid year.

It would also be nice for Dallas and his family. They wouldn’t have to move as he would be going from one side of town to another. He would also be collecting another check while playing for an MLB team again. It is so perfect.

Meanwhile, the White Sox are so lucky to get rid of this guy. All of the positives of him coming to the Cubs are why he was a very bad fit for the White Sox. They are supposed to be much better than they’ve shown and Keuchel is a big reason why. They were behind the eight-ball every time he started.

If Dallas Keuchel came to the Cubs, a lot of people would benefit from it. There is no doubt that they should at least consider it. The worst that could happen is that he continues to be bad and the Cubs rebuild properly by adding the best possible draft picks.
