Cubs Eye Angels' Pitchers Before Deadline | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs are eyeing Angels’ pitchers Jose Soriano and Reid Detmers before the August 3 trade deadline, but they’ll have to part with prized prospect Owen Ayers—a 25-year-old catcher at Triple-A. Both arms, aged 27, boast strong stats and two more years on their deals, making them expensive targets. Insider Bob Nightengale warns the price could rival star pitchers like Tarik Skubal. The Angels aren’t giving them away—so the Cubs’ move hinges on whether they’re willing to pay up for elite rotation help.
