Summary
The Cubs are scrambling after losing two more starters to injury, but their offense is stepping up—especially against the Mets. To plug the pitching gap, they acquired lefty David Peterson from the Mets, making room by sending reliever Yosver Zulueta packing. Despite this, the bullpen still needs help, and a trade deadline move is likely. Fans across the league agree: starting pitching is the biggest need. Meanwhile, the Guardians keep winning despite imperfections, and there’s buzz about reverting to a swing-based system to reduce player fatigue. Personally, I’ve seen some jaw-dropping feats live—no-hitters, cycles—but I’m still waiting for a four-homer game, a rare spectacle that’s only happened 21 times in MLB history.
