The Cubs have made a trade Saturday morning!
Only, it’s not one that anyone here would have anticipated:
The Toronto Blue Jays are trading reliever Nate Pearson to the Cubs, sources tell @JeffPassan and me.

Nate Pearson is a righthanded reliever who was the Blue Jays’ No. 1 pick (28th overall) in 2017 out of the College of Central Florida. Interestingly, he was chosen one pick after the Cubs selected Brendon Little in that Draft — and Little is also now a Blue Jay.
