So on the plus side, the 2027 rotation is rounding into form
Steele, Cabrera, Garret, Brown is pretty legit. If Detmers does end up happening, they're pretty much set and can focus in FA on OF bats.
He's legitimately good, but he's coming off an injury so hopefully they aren't foolish enough to depend on him for the remainder of 2026 as a playoff piece.
Perhaps being delusional on my end, but i almost feel like Detmers is in Hoyer's backpocket but this thing with the Rangers was so unexpected that having the ability to check in on Degrom/Gore is too much to pass up. The Cubs land Degrom and the rotation suddenly looks quite good.
Degrom/Boyd/Gausman/Shota/Brown would be a pretty nasty 1-5
