Cubs to 'Aggressively' Pursue Starting Pitching and Bullpen at Trade Deadline
Cubs to 'Aggressively' Pursue Starting Pitching and Bullpen at Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a strong start to the 2025 season, the Chicago Cubs are sitting atop the National League Central. The reason for such early-season success has been the incredible offense the Cubs have put together. But, there is still a need to improve the pitching staff, both in the rotation and the bullpen. Advertisement According to a new report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cubs are expected to be one of the most aggressive teams at the MLB trade deadline. Nighengale writes, "The Cubs are seeking a front-line starter and relievers," as the teams trade targets. With Justin Steele done for the year, Javier Assad dealing with a setback in his recovery, and Shota Imanaga also banged up, the Cubs have a clear need in the starting rotation. There may not be a lot of options on the table at starting pitcher, but the Cubs have the Minor League prospects to beat out the competition for a top-of-the-line starter available on the market. Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele (35) looks on after throwing a pitch against the Athletics during the second inning at Sutter Health Szczepanski-Imagn Images After Corbin Burnes suffered a season-ending injury, the Arizona Diamondbacks could move Zac Gallen or Merrill Kelly at the trade deadline. If the Boston Red Sox fall out of it, they could move Walker Buehler. There will be options available, but the Cubs will have competition for those arms. Advertisement The same goes for the Cubs' desire to aggressively pursue bullpen help. This comes after the Cubs' bullpen had the best ERA in baseball among bullpens in May, with an impressive 2.37 ERA. Even more impressive, the Cubs' bullpen since April 19th has been the best in baseball, allowing the lowest ERA (2.46), the fewest home runs allowed (7), the lowest batting average (.191), and the lowest WHIP (1.04). Despite the Cubs' bullpen putting together such a strong stretch, there is still concern over the long-term viability of the bullpen. Adding an arm, especially a top-end talent like Mason Miller or Pete Fairbanks, would elevate the Cubs' bullpen ever further. After a great start to the year, the Cubs are expected to be aggressive at the MLB trade deadline. With a stacked offense, the Cubs will look to improve their bullpen and add one of the top starting pitchers available on the market.

'A generational run': Fighters react to Merab Dvalishvili's UFC 316 win over Sean O'Malley
Merab Dvalishvili proved too much for Sean O'Malley to handle once again in the UFC 316 main event. Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC) retained his bantamweight title by defeating O'Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) in the third round with a submission to win the rematch and record his second title defense. Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Dvalishvili's title defense at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.: The MAIN EVENT of #UFC316 is here!Who wins: Merab Dvalishvili or Sean O'Malley?Full coverage: The fence in the stands came down after Merab Dvalishvili walked out at #UFC316. Shades of Mike Malott in Vancouver but all look OK, thankfully. Let's go Sugar . #AndNew again? Is Sean O'Malley winning? #UFC316 Let's go machineeeeeee @MerabDvalishvil 🦾🦾🦾 Suga 🍭 vs Merab 🇬🇪 #UFC316 O'Malley looks very locked in. I like this side of him. #UFC316 Some nice single shots by O'Malley but Merab turning up the machine and winning exchanges. #UFC316 Merab should keep him at the fence and just wear him out. 10-9 Dvalishvili. Fun round. His pace remains relentless #UFC316 10-9 Merab. O'Malley can't run forever. He needs to take risks sooner rather than later #UFC316 O'Malley didn't deserve this title shot at all. But it's actually a fascinating fight to watch - Sugar Sean scurrying around the ring like a rat and Merab pursuing like a mad man trying to smother and kill the rat #UFC316 O'Malley's defense has been halfway decent thus far, but he's struggling to find much offense #UFC316 2-0 Merab but good showing defensively from O'Malley. Defense isn't gonna win him the fight though. I like that corner advice that John Wood gave Merab in regards to going to the body after getups/off breaks #UFC316 As much as O'Malley has improved his takedown defence, you get the feeling that not scoring takedowns is as much a part of Merab's game plan as scoring them all about wearing them down and making them fight at an unsustainable pace. Nailing it through two round here. @MerabDvalishvil is taking Sean into deep water… What's he made of? We shall see! #UFC316 Merab doin what be does best Impressed by Merab. It's going to be hard for o''malley to handle this pressure. Don't see merab slowing down. #ufc316 Merab taps O'Malley in Round 3! #UFC316 #AndStill, The Machine. Merab Dvalishvili is an animal!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 #UFC316 Merab looked better than ever! Boxing and submission. #UFC316 Merab submits Suga in the guy never stops. A real machine out there. Sean O'Malley to the back of the line. He might never be UFC champion ever is an animal. Gonna be champ for a long time. #UFC316 #AndStill: Merab Dvalishvili #UFC316 Dominance from Merab. O'Malley was never in that fight and never belonged in that for both the champion and for those that said this rematch was an un-needed one. Love to see it. #UFC316 Merab Dvalishvili puts away Sean O'Malley with a submission in the rematch. Good stuff for him, and a tough moment for O'Malley who has a pretty much worst-case scenario and is in the position he feared with back-to-back defeats to Merab. Merab is amazing 👏🏽 #UFC316 I do want to see Cory fight for the title next but man at the same time I need to see that O'Malley vs sandhagen Great win Merab! Honestly this wasn't a fight, but straight bullying #ufc316 Unreal performance from @MerabDvalishvil best ever at 135 on a generational run 🔥 This is what happens when you're handed things you didn't earn. Back in line, buddy @SugaSeanMMA

Red Sox rookie: I'd retire before playing for Yankees
Hunter Dobbins hates the Yankees. The Boston Red Sox rookie right‑hander let it be known ahead of his first start against the Yankees Sunday that he would rather retire than wear pinstripes. 'My dad was a die-hard Red Sox fan,' Dobbins said, per the Boston Herald. 'And I've said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire.' Advertisement Now 25, he grew up a Red Sox fan. Hunter Dobbins pitches during the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday, June 2, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. MLB Photos via Getty Images His father, Lance Dobbins, was especially passionate about Boston. Advertisement 'I didn't get attached to a team, but I grew up watching (the Red Sox), and just, I think out of disdain for the Yankees, I watched anybody but them.' Dobbins added. And regarding his least favorite Yankee, Dobbins admitted it was pretty much all of them. Although, one was safe. 'Can I say all of them but Andy Pettitte?' Dobbins asked. 'Andy Pettitte and my dad were really good friends.' Advertisement Hunter Dobbins pitches during the seventh inning of a game against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 28, 2025. Getty Images Dobbins has shown flashes in his first season in the Red Sox rotation. The Texan, who debuted in April after being selected in the eighth round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Texas Tech, has recorded a 4.06 ERA and 37 strikeouts over 44.1 innings pitched across nine outings, seven of which were starts. Boston and New York split the first two games of their current series, with the Bronx Bombers taking game one on Friday with a 9-6 victory, and the Red Sox evening the score winning 10-7 on Saturday. Advertisement The season finale will take place at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, where Dobbins will make his first official on-field contribution to the rivalry. He's excited to make his mark in the series. 'I think whoever I was playing with or whoever I would have been drafted by, I'd still hate the Yankees, so Sunday should be a fun one,' Dobbins said. 'I'm hoping I hit a career-high in velo or something. … I'm ready for it. Sunday can't come fast enough.'
