Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are riding a wave of momentum after a thrilling 9-7 victory against the Baltimore Orioles, boasting a 5-2 record over the last week and scoring an impressive 7.6 runs per game. As they prepare for another showdown with the Orioles today, all eyes will be on David Peterson, who looks to build on his bounce-back start. However, the somber news of Phil Regan's passing serves as a reminder of the franchise's rich history, and the Cubs' current pitching woes, exacerbated by a lengthy injury list, could force them to tweak their roster before the trade deadline. With potential targets like Sonny Gray and Michael King in the mix, the Cubs may need to act decisively to bolster their pitching staff. Meanwhile, Bryse Wilson’s decision to elect free agency adds another layer of uncertainty to an already complex situation.
