The Cubs are in a wild spot—two 10-game winning streaks, but still fourth in the NL Central—thanks to a pitching crisis with key arms like Boyd, Horton, and Steele sidelined. But with just 5.5 games behind first, they’re in prime position to make a splash. Enter Tarik Skubal: a lefty ace recovering from elbow surgery, set to start rehab this Sunday, and reportedly a top trade target. A proposed deal would send Cubs prospects Matt Shaw, Kevin Alcántara, and Dominick Reid to Detroit for Skubal—a move that could instantly vault Chicago into division contention. With Skubal’s return looming and their offense already potent, this trade could be the game-changer the Cubs desperately need. Expect big noise—and serious action—on this front soon.
