Cubs, Brewers Eye Pitching Moves Ahead of Deadline

The Chicago Cubs currently lead the NL Central and are rumored to be exploring early trades for pitching, though some analysts recommend patience to secure a top-tier ace. The Milwaukee Brewers, with a healthier rotation and a surplus of starters, are the subject of trade rumors involving Freddy Peralta and Aaron Civale. The Brewers' recent trades have had mixed outcomes, including regret over trading Reese Olson and disappointment with Aaron Civale's performance. Despite these setbacks, the Brewers remain in contention and are expected to be active at the trade deadline. Both teams are navigating their roster strategies as the market develops. The situation is being closely monitored by analysts and fans.
