## Resource

The Cubs are in a pitching crisis, but luck is on their side—thanks to a deep, buyer’s market for starting arms. With injuries and underperforming starters crippling their rotation, Chicago is poised to make bold moves at the trade deadline. From NL East contenders like the Mets and Nationals to AL Central and East teams, there’s a flood of available talent—and the Cubs aren’t just looking to patch holes; they’re hunting elite arms without overpaying or sacrificing top prospects. With nearly 20 realistic targets already in play, this could be their best shot at turning things around before the deadline.
