Summary

The Cubs are on the hunt for pitching depth before the deadline, despite being in a wild card race—juries have hit their arms hard, and they’re still set to be aggressive. Meanwhile, the Padres could pull off a bold move, potentially trading star closer Mason Miller to shed salary tied to Xander Bogaerts’ contract, even as Miller’s been lights out this season. Across town, the Mets’ high payroll and disappointing season fuel rumors, but owner Steve Cohen insists Lindor and Soto are staying put. With the deadline heating up, teams are chasing specific fixes—or drastic overhauls—to make their final push. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
