The Cubs could use another starter. Here are some possible choices.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago Cubs fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
With Justin Steele out for the year and Shōta Imanaga on the shelf for an extended period of time with a hamstring injury, the Cubs’ starting pitching depth has been tested in recent weeks.
While the team has done well through this stretch, it’s largely because the bullpen has been lights-out, as well as playing a large number of sub-.500 teams.
In order to continue in first place, as well as position themselves for a postseason run, the Cubs are likely going to have to acquire a starting pitcher by trade.
It’s still early June and so we don’t know which starters will be available. However, I’ve compiled a short list of guys who might become available and I’d like to know which one of these starters you would most like the Cubs to acquire.
Please note, this is by no means a comprehensive list, rather, I tried to put together a realistic list of several starters who could be acquired. Also, I could have put “someone else” as a choice, but I wanted you to choose from a specific list — for now.
Cast your vote below and the results will be posted later this week.
