…whom I wouldn’t mind the Cubs taking a chance on at the trade deadline. Compiled from Roster Resource, mostly guys who don’t have a spot in their team’s current rotation. Vastly varying levels of prospect cost. I’m not including obvious candidates like Reid Detmers or José Soriano or pure rentals. I’ve bolded guys who specifically cut their fastball. Most of these may not be available, but if the Cubs need to get creative, these are some names I’d look at.
