It's no secret around these parts that the Chicago Cubs had an underwhelming trade deadline.
Andrew Kittredge has been an excellent addition to the back of the bullpen, but otherwise, it's been pretty ho-hum from the team's deadline acquisitions. Willi Castro has played most of the positions on the diamond, but he has a 43 wRC+ with the Cubs. Taylor Rogers has been a middling addition to the middle relief crew (4.60 ERA). And Michael Soroka only just returned from injury, now removed from the starting rotation.
Of course, those weren't the only players the Cubs were targeting prior to July 31.
