Some initial post-Trade Deadline comments from Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer on the way the pitching moves sorted out …
Jed Hoyer: "From a SP standpoint, it was a really tight market. Very few rental starters. Of the marquee controllable starters, none of them changed hands. We didn’t acquire them but no one else did either. We felt the asking price was something we couldn’t do to the future.”
As for rentals, Hoyer wouldn't talk on Merrill Kelly specifically but said: "Sometimes you line up with teams and sometimes you don't."

— Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) July 31, 2025No real surprises in the comments there. The inventory was tight (mostly fair), the prices were very high (was true on many), and none of the controllable starters were traded to any team (fair). And the Cubs did make four individual trades that made sense, netted quality players, and improved the team.
But, like I wrote earlier, the job was nevertheless to bolster an area of the greatest hole on the roster. And for as much as you might like Mike Soroka, I don’t feel like the Cubs accomplished it.
