Cubs Acquire David Peterson from Mets

The Chicago Cubs have traded for left-hander David Peterson from the New York Mets to bolster their injury-stricken starting rotation, sending prospect Cole Mathis in return. Mathis, a second-round draft pick, is currently on the injured list but has shown promise in the minors. Peterson, who struggled with the Mets, will now focus solely on starting, aiming for a fresh start with the Cubs. He is expected to pitch during the upcoming series against the Brewers as the Cubs deal with multiple injuries in their rotation.
