Cubs Trade Future for Pitching Boost | Chicago News
Description
The Cubs pulled off a bold move at the trade deadline, acquiring elite reliever Ryan Zeferjahn from the Angels for a steep price: top prospect Moises Ballesteros and pitching prospect Mason McGwire. Zeferjahn’s been lights out this year—especially since June—with a stellar 1.38 ERA in 24 appearances. He’s exactly the late-inning arm the Cubs desperately need as injuries plague their bullpen. While it’s a risky gamble trading future assets for immediate impact, the Cubs are clearly prioritizing pitching depth as they push toward the playoffs.
