The Chicago Cubs are exploring trade options to bolster their pitching staff amid injury struggles. Pedro Ramirez, an infielder with a.942 OPS in the minors, is identified as the most logical trade candidate due to the team's crowded roster. While he's shown promise in the big leagues with a.755 OPS in 19 games, the Cubs lack a clear role for him. As they aim to enhance their pitching depth, Ramirez could be used as a centerpiece in a potential trade this summer.
