## Resource

The Cubs are on a frantic pitching shopping spree before the trade deadline, eyeing top arms like Freddy Peralta, Tarik Skubal, and Reid Detmers—each with steep price tags and questionable fits. Peralta’s underlying stats hint at potential, but Mets demand a top-100 prospect; Skubal’s elite stuff is tempting, but swapping him for Ben Brown feels like overpaying. Meanwhile, Mariners’ ask for Suzuki and Shaw? Too much. The front office is casting a wide net, chasing any spark to turn their rotation around in time to make a playoff push.
