A few thoughts about the Cubs and Carson Kelly
Carson Kelly proves a bargain for the Cubs, delivering a career‑high 3.5 bWAR in 2025 and a solid 1.9 bWAR in 2026 while maintaining a 34.1% caught‑stealing rate. Signed to a two‑year, $11.5 million deal, he now faces a mutual 2027 option for $7.5 million. With 32‑year‑old catcher Miguel Amaya still developing and backup Owen Ayers not MLB‑ready, the author argues the Cubs should retain Kelly—either by exercising the option or renegotiating a longer deal with a vesting clause for 2028. The piece weighs the value of Kelly’s consistent offense and defense against typical mutual‑option outcomes.
