Cubs show aggressiveness at Trade Deadline

Jed Hoyer and the Chicago Cubs showed their aggressiveness this trade deadline, acquiring pitchers Kevin Gausman, Clay Holmes, Ryan Zeferjahn and Braxton Garrett, and outfielder Tyrone Taylor. The front office showed a willingness to try and bolster a roster that has been positive in 2026. Andy Martínez, Tony Andracki and Kyle Millinowisch break down all of the moves a day after the deadline. The group analyze what this means for a pitching staff that has shown plenty of signs of wear already this season. Then, the group discuss what this means for the Cubs' playoff rotation and why they are now poised to make a deeper run in October. Lastly, the panel discusses whether the prices they paid, why they're OK with the Cubs moving on from certain prospects and what it means for the future of their player development.
