The Cubs aim to strengthen their rotation by adding an established starter, which would further deepen their young pitching talent amid recent injury concerns.
Manager Craig Counsell discussed the team's position, stating, 'we have a number of young pitchers... with injuries, and it's not a big sample as of yet. But that’s the nature of young pitching.'
The Cubs' best starting pitchers have showcased quality this season with ERAs below 3.41. However, injuries have plagued Steele, Wicks, and Kyle Hendricks.
Counsell noted the paradox of depth in pitching: 'We're in a good spot in terms of that area of depth. But as we saw this year, it disappeared quickly.'
