- Cubs hope changing scenery for David Peterson will get newly acquired lefty nearer to All-Star form
The Chicago Cubs acquired left-handed pitcher David Peterson in a trade with the Mets, hoping a change of scenery will help him return to his All-Star form from last season. Peterson has struggled with a 6.09 ERA this season after a 3.06 ERA before the 2023 All-Star break. Cubs manager Craig Counsell expressed optimism that the new environment and a strong defensive infield could re-energize Peterson.
