Ah! The first Lukewarm Stove of the trade rumor season! It’s both exciting and weird. On the one hand, I can’t wait to get into the weeds on a ton of new rumors and how they either directly or indirectly affect the Chicago Cubs now that we’re well into June and things are a lot more real.
But on the other hand, the Cubs have likely already made their most impactful addition in the form of Craig Kimbrel, and I just doubt anything else comes close to that.
Right elbow inflammation for Ken Giles. Clay Buchholz transferred to the 60-day IL to make room for Jordan Romano on the 40-man roster.
