The Chicago Cubs are pursuing White Sox pitcher Adrian Houser before the trade deadline, as he has emerged as a key player for the White Sox. Despite the rarity of trades between these rivals, the Cubs believe Houser can address their pitching needs, especially as they chase a postseason berth. Houser has a solid 6-2 record with a 2.10 ERA this season. He previously played under Cubs manager Craig Counsell. The Cubs are trying to bolster their rotation due to recent pitching injuries.
"Though cross-town deals with the Chicago White Sox are exceedingly rare, the Cubs have a lot of background information on Houser, who has suddenly re-emerged to become the new ace on the South Side."
"Houser is currently 6-2 with a 2.10 ERA and 47 strikeouts. On Friday, Houser pitched 6 2/3 innings, struck out 3, and gave up three earned runs in a 12-5 win."
