## Resource

The Cubs’ pitching staff is in crisis—multiple key arms sidelined, uncertain returns, and even those coming back may be limited. With David Peterson’s arrival still unproven, the real pain point emerges: why can’t the Cubs develop pitchers who consistently throw 98+ mph? They’ve watched talent like Trevor Megill and Jeremiah Estrada leave for nothing, leaving a glaring gap in their ability to compete in today’s high-octane league.
