Chicago Cubs Rumors: Checking in on potential pitching trade targets
The uncertainty of Yu Darvish pitching anytime soon for the Chicago Cubs may lead them to making some moves. How big a move can Theo Epstein pull off?
One of the strengths the Chicago Cubs had on paper going into the season was starting pitching. A rotation of Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, Jose Quintana, Yu Darvish and Tyler Chatwood looked like it would be among baseball’s best. Midway through, it has not been quite as good as expected. The injury to Yu Darvish gets more and more concerning and who knows if he will even be able to pitch again in 2018.
