Cubs Target Wacha at Deadline | Chicago Cubs News

With a 56-43 record and a top wild card spot, they’re desperate for pitching depth amid injuries to key arms like Steele and Taillon. Wacha, 35, boasts a stellar 3.77 ERA and a nasty changeup, locked in through 2027. They’re reportedly willing to send Matt Shaw and Kevin Alcantara to land him—worth the cost for a reliable veteran starter in a deep playoff race.
