Cubs Bet on Peterson Amid Pitching Crisis

The Cubs just snagged lefty David Peterson from the Mets to plug a massive hole in their starting rotation, hoping his high ground-ball rate and their elite infield defense can revive his shaky season. With multiple key pitchers sidelined, this move is a desperate but strategic gamble — and they’re not stopping there, adding Bryse Wilson off waivers to bolster depth and grit. Management’s confident they’ll find a way, but it’s a scramble to keep the rotation afloat as they juggle trades, waivers, and internal fixes.
