Cubs Pitching Crisis and Wacha Trade | Chicago Cubs News

To fix their rotation before the deadline, they’re eyeing a bold trade: send Matt Shaw and Kevin Alcántara to KC for veteran All-Star Michael Wacha, who’s posted a 3.77 ERA and brings postseason savvy. It’s a high-stakes gamble that could turn their season around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
