Cubs star Stroman pushing for extension as trade deadline looms; Front office remains silent
- Marcus Stroman seeks a long-term contract with the Chicago Cubs but the team has shown no interest in negotiating.
- Stroman and his agent have approached the Cubs multiple times about an extension but the team has not engaged in any talks.
- Stroman has publicly expressed his desire to remain with the Cubs long-term but the feeling is not mutual based on the team's lack of response.
- With an opt-out clause after this season, Stroman could become a free agent if the Cubs don't come to the table.
- The Cubs' history of trading impending free agents who can't reach a deal suggests Stroman may be wearing another uniform soon if something doesn't change.
