Summary
The Cubs are in a pitching panic, scrambling to stay alive in the playoff race as injuries pile up and the trade deadline looms. They’ve already pulled in David Peterson from the Mets, but with key arms like Cabrera and Brown sidelined, the front office faces tough calls: trade for help now or wait for recoveries? Uncertain return timelines for Taillon and Assad could force bullpen reshuffles, while Maton and Palencia’s imminent returns offer hope—but Harvey and Martin’s futures hang in the balance. With the rotation and bullpen both thin, the Cubs need a major move soon to keep their postseason dreams alive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
