The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded right-handed pitcher Yency Almonte and third baseman Michael Busch, the team's number two prospect with a $17.2M surplus trade value, to the Chicago Cubs. In exchange, the Dodgers are receiving left-handed pitcher Jackson Ferris, the Cubs' eighth-best prospect, and outfielder Zyhir Hope. The Cubs have made room on their 40-man roster by designating catcher Brian Serven for assignment. This trade is part of the Dodgers' efforts to clear space on their 40-man roster. In a separate move, the Dodgers have also settled with pitcher Walker Buehler for $8.025 million for the next season to avoid arbitration. Buehler, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and missed last season, will earn the same salary as in 2023. The acquisition of Michael Busch by the Cubs is expected to potentially address their long-term need at first base.

After a slow start, the Cubs are starting to ramp up their offseason aggressiveness. By adding Busch, they potentially address a huge lineup hole and bring in a slugging lefty who could be the long-term answer at first. Trade breakdown w/ @FabianArdaya: https://t.co/g23HqVKROP

Glad to see Busch get a clear shot at playing time with the @Cubs -- he will hit. Intrigued to see how Ferris continues to develop with the @Dodgers -- might be the game's top LHP prospect in the future. Hope is an intriguing @MLBDraft sleeper. https://t.co/KUmzQ7mM91
