In this episode of Chicago Cubs Central, we break down the latest rumors surrounding the Cubs’ search for everyday outfielders as the team prepares for a future that may not include Kyle Tucker. Three names have been buzzing around MLB insider circles — Jo Adell, Jarren Duran, and Steven Kwan — and we’re digging into why these players are reportedly available, how they performed in 2025, and how each one could fit into the Cubs’ 2026 blueprint.

We’ll break down:
🔹 Jo Adell’s massive power surge and why he could replace Tucker’s home run production
🔹 Jarren Duran’s elite speed and defense, and how his profile changes the Cubs’ lineup
🔹 Steven Kwan’s contact-first approach and why he might be the safest everyday outfield option on the market
🔹 What each player would cost, how they’d complement PCA, Happ, and the Cubs’ young core
🔹 Which outfielder gives the Cubs the best path forward if Tucker walks in free agency

If you’re a Cubs fan wanting to understand what the front office might do next, this is a must-watch breakdown packed with insight, stats, roster fits, and realistic trade scenarios.
