The Cubs haven’t had what you’d call the best luck when it comes to the pitching staff this season, with three members of the rotation spending time on the IL and the bullpen still a work in progress. But that has created opportunities for players from the system, with Adbert Alzolay already assuming the mantle as the organization’s best home-grown arm in the Theo Epstein era.
As the trade deadline approaches, and with a mix of injuries and strategy dictating moves, the Cubs are going to want to see what they’ve got in some other players from the farm.
