## Resource

The Cubs are on hold as the trade deadline nears, stuck in a cautious “wait-and-see” mode with multiple pitchers sidelined and the market slow to move. After adding David Peterson, they’re watching closely as teams across MLB face similar roster crunches. Manager Craig Counsell admits the injury bug is thinning their pitching talent pool, and with reliever Hoby Milner becoming the 12th pitcher on the IL, the pressure mounts. For now, they’re focused on assessing options without rushing—pitching depth is their biggest hurdle, and they’re not giving up hope, but patience is key.
