The Chicago Cubs are being projected to acquire the New York Yankees’ All-Star closer in a deal worth $54 million, according to a recent prediction.
The speculation comes as the Cubs look to bolster their bullpen for the upcoming season. The Yankees’ closer, who earned All-Star honors, could be on the move as New York evaluates its roster options.
David Bednar was seen pitching against the Boston Red Sox during Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series at Yankee Stadium on September 30, 2026, highlighting the high-stakes environment surrounding the team’s relief corps.
