2019 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 103
Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs made a minor deal yesterday for a left-handed pitcher. Because it is “trade week” it gets a little extra attention. But, this one didn’t have a ton to do with the trade deadline. The Giants had a roster crunch and Derek Holland had under performed for them. The Cubs traded for him to add another option from the left out of the bullpen. They also recalled Ian Happ. A left-handed reliever, who is dominant against lefties but gets crushed against right-handed hitters, and a player who spent almost four entire months in Triple-A are unlikely to cure what ails the Cubs.
