Cubs Make Deadline Splash | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs pulled off a last-minute deadline steal, snagging outfielder Tyrone Taylor and pitcher Clay Holmes from the Mets just hours before the deadline — sending back top prospect Jefferson Rojas in the deal. With injuries decimating their rotation and playoff hopes on the line, this move fills critical gaps: Holmes brings much-needed bullpen depth (despite his May injury), while Taylor adds defensive stability to the outfield. The Mets, meanwhile, are aggressively rebuilding, shipping off multiple pitchers including Freddy Peralta. It’s a classic deadline gamble — high-risk, high-reward — as the Cubs push for postseason glory. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
