Cubs Trade for Reliever Eli Morgan, DFA Patrick Wisdom
The Chicago Cubs have acquired right-handed pitcher Eli Morgan from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for outfield prospect Alfonsin Rosario. To make room for Morgan, the Cubs designated infielder Patrick Wisdom for assignment. Morgan, who had a strong season with a 1.93 ERA, will bolster the Cubs' bullpen, while Wisdom, known for his power but limited skill set, may be traded or released. The Guardians, with a dominant bullpen, traded from a position of strength.
