Chicago Cubs looking for new starting pitcher outside organization; 2X All-Star: Report
The Chicago Cubs recently pulled off a trade for left-handed reliever Tom Cosgrove as the team looks to strengthen the bullpen. On Sunday, the Cubs found out they needed another starting pitcher after losing Justin Steele for the season.
Steele dealt with tendinitis last season. He’s set to have season-ending Tommy John surgery to repair his left elbow. Steele’s absence undermines a rotation that was already feeling stretched before they named Ben Brown as the fifth starting pitcher.
Per multiple reports, the Cubs are looking for help to replace Steele. Two different pitchers were named as possible solutions, including a two-time All-Star.
The Chicago Cubs are looking inside and out for a SP
According to George Ofman, the Cubs aren’t expected to make an immediate move to trade or sign a player. Ofman named Colorado Rockies pitcher German Marquez as a potential trade option.
“Steele’s season ending injury already has the Cubs seeking a pitcher from outside the organization,” Ofman posted on X. “Here is one to consider…German Marquez of the Rockies. Not expecting the Cubs to make a move just yet as they weigh organizational options.”

Cubs linked to Sandy Alcantara
Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cubs are looking for a front-line starter ASAP. He linked Chicago to two-time All-Star pitcher Sandy Alcantara.
“The Cubs’ search for a front-line starter begins immediately with the Miami Marlins having the pitcher every team wants in Sandy Alcantara,” Nightengale posted.
