With injuries continuing to pile up for the Chicago Cubs, they could turn their attention to bringing in one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen.
are currently dealing with multiple injuries to their star and contributing players that is really going to test them over the course of the next few weeks.Justin Steele is still on the injured list with his hamstring injury, Jordan Wicks was just moved there with a forearm strain, and veteran Kyle Hendricks was placed on the IL with an injured back.
Even once these players do return, the Cubs' front office should already be figuring out which players they are interested in acquiring at the trade deadline as they have been able to handle these injuries well thus far and sit with a 17-11 record entering Monday.The three-time Cy Young winner just returned from his own stint on the injured list after he came into camp behind schedule, but in his two outings this year, he has a 1.74 ERA across 10 1/3 innings pitched.
There's a chance the Astros will turn things around since they have a loaded roster and championship experience, but right now, that doesn't look to be the case. If Houston can't improve before the deadline, there might be no better team who can give them assets in return than the Cubs who have a strong pipeline full of potential future stars.
