## Resource

The Cubs had to do something, given the state of their pitching staff. The David Peterson deal is far from a blockbuster move, but it makes a lot of sense for this team right now. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney explain the direction that Jed Hoyer’s front office is taking, assess the rest of the National League field and identify the trade chips the Cubs will have at their disposal this summer. Plus, what’s up with Justin Steele’s timeline and Hoyer’s recent comments on the radio?
