Cubs trade Moises Ballesteros and Mason McGwire for Ryan Zeferjahn

The Chicago Cubs are acquiring reliever Ryan Zeferjahn from the Los Angeles Angels, sending Moises Ballesteros and Mason McGwire in return. Zeferjahn, a 28-year-old right-handed pitcher, has a 3.66 ERA and is under club control through 2030. This trade adds depth to the Cubs' bullpen, but the loss of promising young players raises concerns about the cost. Ballesteros, 22, has made his MLB debut with eight home runs in 213 at-bats, while McGwire, also 22, has a 3.64 ERA in 59.1 innings at the minor league level. The trade could have significant implications for both teams moving forward.
