## Resource

The Cubs are on the hunt for a long-term ace before the 2026 trade deadline, aiming to fix shaky rotation depth without sacrificing future prospects—passing on high-profile rentals like Skubal or Ryan to avoid repeating past mistakes, and instead eyeing pitchers under team control, even if it means waiting for coaching magic to unlock potential stars like Peralta.
