Chicago Cubs have ‘eyes’ on Boston Red Sox pitcher: Report

The Chicago Cubs lost another pitcher to injury this week, as Craig Counsell revealed on Wednesday that the team is placing relief pitcher Porter Hodge on the injured list for a shoulder issue following a contest where he gave up six earned runs to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
Hodge is one of several pitchers out with an injury. Starting pitcher Justin Steele is out for the season, and Jameson Taillon is on the 15-day injured list with a calf injury.
Chicago’s front office is aggressively looking for trade help for the rotation before the deadline on July 31.
The Chicago Cubs are interested in Lucas Giolito
Per George Ofman, the Cubs are interested in Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito.
“Told the Cubs have their eyes on Lucas Giolito, but thus far it there is no indication the Red Sox are ready to make any more significant trades. He’s 5-1 with a 3.66 ERA,” Ofman posted on X.

Giolito, 30, has appeared in 12 games and has pitched 66.1 innings. Giolito is a family face for Chicago fans, as he played with the Chicago White Sox from 2017-2023. He has a career ERA of 4.41.
The Red Sox have a 48-45 record and are six games back from the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. Boston is one game back from the Seattle Mariners for the final spot in the AL Wild Card.
