Cubs Eye Detmers in Potential Trade | Chicago Cubs News

The Angels want a young catcher, and Cubs’ top prospect Owen Ayers fits the bill. A swap of Ayers for Detmers could reshape Chicago’s rotation and catching corps for years, turning a risky gamble into a cornerstone rebuild.

Cubs Send Alcantara Down for Triantos | Chicago Cubs News

With the team seven games behind in the division, this shuffle could signal a push for younger talent or better alignment with current needs. Alcantara’s not out of the picture—his development continues, and another call-up could be on the horizon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
