Cubs pull out action-packed, extra-inning win; roster move creates trade deadline intrigue. McGrawDHSports Cubs
MILWAUKEE -- There's still nearly a month to go before the MLB trade deadline arrives on Aug. 1. But it feels like preparations have begun for the Cubs.
Is this because the Cubs expect to have an opening in the rotation by Aug. 1? Well, they are falling out of the race and have three veteran starters in Marcus Stroman, Kyle Hendricks and Drew Smyly who should be in high demand on the trade market. "That felt like there was a week's worth of action in that game," said Nico Hoerner, who drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th with an infield single.
The Cubs were 1-6 since coming back from London, and they blew a 6-0 lead to the Brewers on Monday after losing in extras to Cleveland on Sunday. "You don't want to act hastily," Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said before the contest."I think when you look at a lot of underlying numbers, we absolutely should be in the division race right now. Now, that doesn't matter. They don't put a banner up based on your underlying numbers. We have to translate that into wins and losses, and we haven't done that well enough.
