8/01/25 | What Grades Did Cubs Get For Their Four Trade Deadline Acquisitions?. It's hard to not be disappointed with the Chicago Cubs and their trade deadline results. For weeks, there were rumors about how they were searching for ways to land some high-profile players, with adding a starting pitcher who has multiple years of club control remaining being their top priority.
