The Houston Astros have been in the market for pitching all offseason, and on Thursday night, swung a deal with the Chicago Cubs that will bring an electric arm into the organization. Unfortunately, Astros fans will have to wait until the team's newly acquired hurler, Nico Zeglin, is able to mature and reach his full potential.
The Astros traded for Zeglin, and in exchange, shipped international bonus pool money to the Cubbies. Zeglin completed his first professional season in the Cubs' organization back in 2024, but did not pitch in 2025 due to injury.
