Cubs and White Sox pursue Reid Detmers ahead of trade deadline

As the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3, both the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox are pursuing Angels pitcher Reid Detmers. The 27-year-old left-hander, currently 3-7 with a 4.05 ERA, has attracted significant interest due to his remaining years of club control. The White Sox are looking to bolster their rotation as they aim for the AL Central title, while the Cubs seek to address injuries that have plagued their pitching staff. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers are also expected to be active buyers in the market, focusing on acquiring another starting pitcher. The Miami Marlins, despite a recent 12-game losing streak, remain open to both buying and selling at the deadline, given their proximity in the NL wild-card race.
