Summary
The Cubs are desperate for a starting pitcher at the trade deadline, but Tarik Skubal may be out of reach—big-market rivals like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Blue Jays have the chips to compete. With the Tigers likely to hold onto Skubal unless they collapse, the Cubs may settle for cheaper, second-tier arms like Robbie Ray or Freddy Peralta, leaving them wondering if that’s enough to claw into playoff contention.
