Carlos Rodón is starting for San Francisco and has been the subject of many trade rumors this past week, as the Giants have shifted into potential sellers. The Cubs would likely need the Giants to trade Rodón to be serious about signing him this offseason, a topic we explained and discussed in full right here:
This is another night game (6:08 CT), this time on ESPN. GO CUBS.
