## Resource

The Cubs are in a pitching panic heading into the trade deadline, desperate to bolster their rotation—but they’re not alone in the hunt. Top targets like Angels’ Reid Detmers and Jose Soriano are being chased by eleven other teams, turning this into a brutal bidding war. While the Cubs aren’t in the running for elite arms, they’re poised to outbid rivals for mid-tier talent, willing to pay premium prices to fix their injury-riddled staff. It’s baseball chess at its most intense—and the clock is ticking. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
