## Resource

The Cubs are in a bind with their pitching staff crumbling from injuries and are on the hunt for reinforcements before the trade deadline. They’re targeting pitchers on expiring contracts—teams eager to move them—and also eyeing elite arms like Skubal or Miller, though those come with steep price tags. With the deadline looming, Chicago’s front office is juggling urgency with value, chasing any arm that can help them stay competitive.
