Which, yes, means it would be costly. But hold onto that thought. Let’s hit the actual report first.

According to Patrick Mooney at The Athletic, the Chicago Cubs are considering free-agent-to-be Tarik Skubal among their trade deadline options for the obvious gap(s) at the front of their rotation.

Tarik Skubal.

The back-to-back reigning AL Cy Young Award winner with a 2.79 ERA through 16 starts this season (yes, there was an injury + surgery, but he recovered quickly and has made nine very good starts since, especially his last three):

• vsLAA: 7.0 IP, 5H, 0ER, 0BB, 9K
• vsKCR: 7.1, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, 12K
• vsBAL: 6.2 IP, 4H, 3ER, 1BB, 6K

I mean, it’s Tarik Skubal.

Tarik Skubal to the Cubs?

Here’s the key part of what Mooney had to say:

In a wide-ranging search for pitching reinforcements, the Chicago Cubs are considering Tarik Skubal as their blockbuster option ahead of Monday’s trade deadline, according to several baseball officials who were granted anonymity to candidly discuss a still-developing market.

Mooney then goes on to cite Skubal’s “deep roots” near where the Cubs do spring training in Arizona (and early access to the soon-to-be record-breaking free agent), as a potential bonus to getting him in the door now. As in, the idea of trying to trade for Tarik Skubal and then convince him to stay in Chicago.

Which … there’s a lot there to unpack, the most important being: A free-agent deal for Tarik Skubal would be so many miles above any free agent contract the Cubs have ever considered giving out in the past (save Shohei Ohtani) that it’s pretty hard to believe. But who knows. Maybe they’re ready to open up the pocketbook, and maybe Skubal loves Chicago. But that’s all a conversation for another day.

Suffice it to say, yeah, you’d obviously love to have Tarik Skubal. He’s among the top pitchers in baseball, and routinely is that guy.

For now, we just have to focus on the deadline implications and the potential cost. But also, the potential leverage that could be used here.

And that’s where we’ll go first.

Consider for a moment the fact that the Brewers are one of the biggest rumored suitors for Skubal. The Cubs (and Tigers) should love to make the Brewers think Chicago is making a big push for Skubal. It just applies more pressure on Milwaukee to go over their top on an offer. And if it’s prospects only the Tigers are seeking, the Brewers can blow the Cubs out of the water.

Another argument that this is mostly a leverage play: The Cubs (6.0 GB) are still unlikely to pass the Brewers in the NL Central. And Jed Hoyer has indicated that this sort of big-time (in terms of cost) rental acquisition is a lot less palatable without that first-round bye.

But I have to tell you, I don’t think that’s the case here. I think their interest is legitimate. And I think that, in part because, well, I have heard very similar rumblings behind the scenes the past few days. And also because even if I appreciate the counter-argument (and have made it myself), the case FOR Skubal is easy to make: The Cubs offense and defense have proven playoff-calibre; their pitching staff obviously has not. Plus, this is something of a “go for it” season given all the outgoing free agents and money spent on this roster.

And that’s pretty much it. The Cubs could win this year. But not if they don’t get more pitching. And there is no better pitching available than Tarik Skubal.

We’ve been so focused on the controllable starters, which, to be fair, do still make more sense given the Cubs’ rotational needs NEXT year too. But if you are going to go the rental route, you may as well go for the best. And that’s Tarik Skubal.

More on this tomorrow and the next few days, I’m sure.

Tonight, in extra innings, despite PCA’s heroics in the top half of the 10th, the Cubs lost to the Cardinals 3-2. Having already used Jacob Webb and Caleb Thielbar to get to extra innings, Trent Thornton was the man on the mound when Jordan Walker came around to score from first base on Ivan Herrera’s walk-off double. And that was that.

Probably a good time to remind Jed Hoyer that STARTING pitching isn’t the only type of pitching the Cubs need to acquire at the deadline. Even if Daniel Palencia (and maybe Hunter Harvey, Ben Brown, and eventually Justin Steele, Colin Rea, and Javier Assad could join that group). Sigh. With a win tonight, the Cubs would’ve moved to a season-high 16-games over .500. I was looking forward to that.

Alas.

Let’s talk a little more about the game.

As crazy as it would’ve sounded in May, right now, it’s not easy to shut down this Cubs offense the way Dustin May (5.0 IP, 1H, 2BB, 3K) and the Cardinals bullpen did in regulation. But it happened. Through the first nine innings, the Cubs managed just ONE hit and six walks, while plating none. Pete Crow-Armstrong, who pimped the HELL out of it, gave the Cubs a 2-run lead on his go-ahead home run in the 10th, but that’s all the Cubs could muster. And it wasn’t enough.

For just a moment, I was so enjoying how mad all the fans in the tarps off section of Busch (probably) were.

SCORELESS NO MORE ‼️

In any case, our Ankin Law “Making it Personal” Player of the Game tonight is Matthew Boyd, who has returned to the Cubs from the Injured List like a knight in shining armor.

The Cubs veteran lefty and de facto ace tossed another gem, scattering just four hits and two walks against five strikeouts over seven scoreless innings in St. Louis. He found his way into a little bit of trouble in the fifth and sixth, but got out of both jams and ended with a 1-2-3 final appearance in the seventh.

Speaking of that trouble, early on, it looked like Boyd was going to be efficient enough to go even further tonight. He had cruised through 4.2 innings at just 45 pitches, but then hit a batter, walked a batter, and took JJ Wetherholt to a full count in a frustratingly long 10-pitch at-bat before getting him to ground out and end the inning.

If one or two of those at-bats go differently, he might’ve gone at least eight tonight, which may have pushed Jacob Webb and Caleb Thielbar each back an inning. Then, who knows. Butterfly wings and all that, but that’s on my mind.

But seriously, Boyd is on a great run, and you just have to pray he stays healthy the rest of the season. Because the way he’s throwing it right now, at least in terms of results, is looking like a playoff-caliber starter.

Full Box Score.
