The Chicago Cubs are being considered as a potential trading partner for San Francisco Giants pitcher Robbie Ray, who has a 4.45 ERA. With the Cubs aiming for postseason contention, their need for effective pitching has become apparent amid recent struggles. Ray, a former All-Star, could be an affordable option as he is a free agent after this season, and teams are interested in acquiring him. Current Cubs pitchers, including Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon, have struggled, increasing the urgency for a trade before the 2026 deadline.
