## Resource

The Cubs are in a wild spot—two 10-game winning streaks, fourth in the NL Central, and dangerously thin on pitching with Boyd, Horton, and Steele sidelined. But they’re just 5.5 games back, and a potential trade for Tigers’ ace Tarik Skubal could flip the script. A proposed deal sends Matt Shaw, Kevin Alcantara, and Dominick Reid to Detroit for Skubal, adding elite lefty firepower and instantly making Chicago the division favorite. With Skubal expected to return soon from elbow surgery and the trade deadline still months away, the Cubs must move fast—this is the trade that could define their season.
