## Resource

The Cubs are on the brink of a trade deadline overhaul, targeting pitching to fix a struggling bullpen and unlock Alex Bregman’s second-half power potential. With a middling 4.09 ERA and injury woes, the bullpen could see a boost from returning arms and deadline pickups like Clay Holmes and A.J. Minter—possibly traded for prospects like Alcántara or Ramírez. Meanwhile, Bregman’s first-half slump hints at a breakout, and a surging offense, combined with seven key matchups against Milwaukee, could propel the Cubs past the Brewers for the division.
