Cubs Trade for Peterson Amid Pitching Crunch
Description
The Cubs pulled off a winning road trip, sweeping the Mets, but their pitching woes persist with Cabrera and Brown sidelined. In a move to plug the gap, they traded a promising infielder, Cole Mathis, for David Peterson—a lefty with a high ERA but a stellar FIP and elite ground-ball rate. With Chicago’s top-tier defense and a focus on inducing weak contact, Peterson could thrive here. He’s not a superstar, but he’s exactly the kind of durable, innings-eating arm the Cubs desperately need to stay competitive.
