The Chicago Cubs should be back on track in terms of the pitching staff after getting back over the last week both ace Shota Imanaga and star reliever Porter Hodge. While things should stabilize, this is a Cubs pitching staff that has been thin all season long even before injuries became a factor.

The Cubs are exploring starting pitching upgrades and could make a move well before the MLB trade deadline, according to an insider.

With the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline approaching, it would seem likely that the Chicago Cubs will trade Jordan Wicks.
