The Chicago Cubs have a clear need for this season's trade deadline.
And the front office knows it.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden wrote Thursday that the Cubs' "top priority" over the next month and change will be to add starting-pitching depth.
"The Cubs have made it clear to opposing front offices that trading for starting pitching is their top priority, and they’ve been making those calls and texts for weeks," Bowden wrote.
