Summary
The Cubs just pulled off a crucial trade, acquiring lefty David Peterson from the Mets to plug a massive hole in their struggling rotation. With two more pitchers going on the injured list and only four healthy starters left, this move is a lifeline—especially since Peterson thrives on ground balls and could benefit from Chicago’s strong defense. The Cubs sent prospect Cole Mathis to the Mets in exchange, and with a doubleheader and Milwaukee series looming, Peterson could be key to keeping the team afloat this weekend.
