The Chicago Cubs aim to acquire White Sox ace Adrian Houser as the teams engage in a cross-town series. Trades between these teams are rare but may occur, given the Cubs' strong interest and available information on Houser, who has re-emerged as a top pitcher. Currently, Houser holds a 6-2 record with a 2.10 ERA and has shown recent performance as a reliable arm for the White Sox, who are considering rebuilding. The Cubs, at 60-43, hope to bolster their rotation amid a stretch of pitching injuries.
Though cross-town deals with the Chicago White Sox are exceedingly rare, the Cubs have a lot of background information on Houser, who has suddenly re-emerged to become the new ace on the South Side.
In Houser, the Cubs could get someone who's fresh and has a sense of familiarity. After all, he was under the tutelage of manager Craig Counsell when he was with the Brewers.
