Pearson addition likely sets up moving short term bullpen pieces like Neris.

...and Josh Rivera, too? Oooh. Don't know how I feel about that. Rivera upside is a utility infielder bench bat which has value, I am ok with this, if the FO really feels they can fix Pearson because if they can, then you got yourself an electric lights out arm in the pen for 2 more years after this season.

Not that this is a blockbuster by any means but this is kind of backing up what Jed said that they would be looking to make moves that dont just help for 2024. So everybody equated that to them being just sellers.Pearson hasnt exactly been lighting the major leagues on fire but he recently was considered one of the best pitching prospects in the game. He just got him for Pinango who was likely never going to play for the Cubs and Rivera who ways years away from possibly being a utility guy. But Im sure we will get comments that its the Cubs being cheap and picking up another teams failed prospect. With where the Cubs sit record wise this is the type of move I was hoping we would see. I dont want them to buy rentals and I dont want them to sell just to cut salary. I want them to get ready or very near ready talent. Pearson can help them now and for two more seasons.

The trade is fine. Nothing worth getting over excited in either direction about. Got a couple days left to see the vision materialize based on other movement that should happen.

to make room on the 40 man roster for Pearson, Jesús Tinoco has been designated for assignment.

Right nothing to get excited about. But he has the stuff to potentially be a lights out closer and he can help right now and for 2 more seasons. I like Pinango but with the OF's the Cubs have his chances of ever playing for them are slim. Rivera is years away and not exactly scorching the minors. I see this as a solid move and potential robbery. Or he just never lives up to his potential and he isnt here long . Hes averaging 98 mph on his fastball and gets it up to 101.

Pearson was run out of Toronto and their bullpen is as bad as ours. I doubt our coaches will be able to "fix" him.

Just two games left to play before the trade deadline. He needs to be healthy enough to return to the lineup today if there is any hope for him to be moved. I still believe his contract situation is too off-putting for any team to actually bite even if he is healthy but if he can return to game action today I’ll retain some small amount of optimism.

I’d imagine there could be some interest in Wisdom from any team struggling to bop left handed pitching. He’s up to .250/.328/.482/.810 now verse lefties.
