The Chicago Cubs are one of the more intriguing teams to follow at the trade deadline. They are one of the better teams in baseball, but there are some massive holes on the roster to fill.

Chicago needs to add a third baseman to replace Matt Shaw, and it’s been closely linked to Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez. This would be a huge move for Chicago to make, but the front office needs to make a few other moves, too.

ESPN’s Jesse Rogers recently revealed what the Cubs’ deadline approach could look like over the next few days.

“The Cubs are looking for a starting pitcher first and foremost, but won’t part with any top prospects for rentals,” Rogers wrote. “They would be willing to trade a young hitter for a cost-controlled pitcher or one already under contract past this season. They are desperate to add an arm who can help while Jameson Taillon recovers from a calf injury. Bullpen games in Taillon’s place haven’t gone well.”

Adding to the starting rotation is the biggest need for the Cubs. They came into the season with a hole in the starting rotation. Injuries to Jameson Taillon and Justin Steele have crushed the rotation even more.

Chicago could be a landing spot for controllable pitchers like Sandy Alcántara and Edward Cabrera, but the Cubs might not be a solid fit for rentals like Merrill Kelly and Seth Lugo.

It should be expected that the Cubs will be aggressive in the pitching market in the coming days.
