Cubs-Angels Trade Idea Sends Tyler Anderson to Chicago
Despite having multiple injuries to their frontline starters, the Chicago Cubs are off to an impressive 22-17 record, and they sit in first place in the National League Central. Lefty starter Justin Steele is lost for the season, and Shota Imanaga, who is off to a 3-2 start in 2025 with a 2.82 ERA and 34 strikeouts, was just sent to the Injured List. Advertisement The Cubs' starting rotation is now filled with either young starters who don't have much big league experience, or veterans who aren't true aces. This has led to some murmurs about Chicago looking to trade for a frontline starter. The Cubs may be able to hold their own in the NL Central, but if they want to be a true competitor, they will need to add to their staff somehow. In this trade pitch, the Cubs would acquire starter Tyler Anderson from the Los Angeles Angels in return for reliever Julian Merryweather and a top prospect in Kevin Alcántara. Anaheim Angels starter Tyler Anderson is among the starters expected to be traded this season.© Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Anderson is a two-time All-Star and appears to be in the prime of his career. He was a late bloomer, but the 35-year-old would be a great fill-in piece to help stabilize the Cubs' rotation. The Angels had a solid start to 2025, but things have evened out, and they may not compete this season. Advertisement This trade provides a great opportunity for the Angels to get a solid prospect in Alcántara, who could be called up this season and get real reps. As for Chicago, they already have a full outfield, and there might not be room for Alcántara in the next couple of years. Related: Cubs Get Excellent Update on Justin Steele Trade Replacement
