Adding David Peterson is first step as Jed Hoyer tries to solve Cubs' pitching woes

The Cubs acquired left-hander David Peterson from the Mets to address pitching staff issues, with team president Jed Hoyer emphasizing Peterson's ground-ball pitching style and the Cubs' strong infield defense as potential assets. The move follows injuries to multiple pitchers, including Edward Cabrera, Ben Brown, Jameson Taillon, Cade Horton, and Justin Steele, prompting the Cubs to seek additional reinforcements through trades or waivers.
