## Resource

Jaxon Wiggins, once hailed as a Cubs’ can’t-miss pitching prospect, is now facing a tough crossroads as his recent Triple-A struggles and lingering injury concerns force the front office to reconsider his future before the trade deadline. After a frustrating return from injury, his performance hasn’t lived up to expectations, and the pressure of being a top prospect has only amplified the scrutiny. With the Cubs weighing whether to trade him for immediate help or bet on his recovery, Wiggins’ situation highlights the unpredictable nature of prospect development—and the high stakes of the deadline.
