## Resource

The Cubs are all-in to win now, but their pitching staff is thin and struggling—both in the rotation and bullpen. With key arms sidelined and save numbers tanking, they’re desperate for upgrades before the trade deadline. They’ve already added David Peterson, but that’s not enough. With big-market resources and serious ambition, the Cubs need to fix their pitching fast to build a complete, competitive team. Expect major moves.
