The Chicago Cubs are acquiring right-hander Kevin Gausman in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, a source tells to ESPN. The Cubs have sought a playoff-caliber starting pitcher all deadline, and now they've landed one. First on the news was @Ken_Rosenthal and @MitchBannon.

Not that it matters, because MLB owners gonna MLB owners, but Two things can be true! 1. The Skubal trade makes the best team better and is utterly horrific for non-Dodgers fans 2. The Skubal trade should not be used as a pro-cap argument for many reasons.
