Peterson Shines in Cubs Debut | Chicago Cubs News
Description
The Cubs just pulled off a pitching gem with David Peterson—yes, the same guy who was struggling with a 6.09 ERA for the Mets. In his first start for Chicago, he gave up a home run on the first pitch, but then settled in to pitch 5⅓ innings, allowing just two earned runs, helping the Cubs win 8-2. At 30, Peterson was entering his final year of contract and needed a fresh start—now he’s showing he’s still got it, with a 2.90 ERA in 2024 and All-Star honors in 2025. This trade, sending him for a 22-year-old prospect, could be a game-changer for a Cubs team six and a half games behind in the NL Central.
