## Resource

The Cubs are all-in to overhaul their pitching staff before the August 3rd deadline, targeting elite starters Tarik Skubal and Joe Ryan—but both are locked in playoff races. To land either, Chicago’s willing to unload top prospects, including third baseman Matt Shaw, though holding onto Josiah Hartshorn complicates things. The Tigers and Twins are weighing high-value prospects vs. volume of young talent, while the Cubs are prepared to sacrifice major league depth too. With the pitching market heating up, this could be the deadline’s most dramatic arms race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
