Chicago Cubs ‘working hard’ on landing 2 pitchers: Report

The Chicago Cubs are scrambling to try and execute a move to add pitching and hitting help to the roster with a week to go before the trade deadline.
The Cubs sit one game back from the Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the NL Central with a 60-42 record. Following their trade for Kyle Tucker in the offseason, Chicago is expected to go all-in to win a World Series this season.
Amid rookie Matt Shaw’s struggles at the plate and numerous injuries to the rotation and bullpen, the Cubs are expected to trade for a pitcher and another bat.
The Chicago Cubs are looking at two pitchers
Per Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, Chicago is looking at Baltimore Orioles right-handed relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez and Tampa Bay Rays right-handed relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks.
“Cubs working hard on acquiring bullpen pitchers,” Levine posted on X. “Orioles Seranthony Dominguez and Tampa’s Pete Fairbanks have been discussed. Tampa still a bit reluctant due to injuries for other pen pitchers.”

Dominguez, 30, has a 3.32 ERA in 42 appearances and 40.2 innings pitched in 2025.
Fairbanks, 31, has a 2.84 ERA in 39 appearances and 38.0 innings pitched in 2025.
On Wednesday, Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that he didn’t believe Chicago was close to finalizing any deal soon.
“Honestly, it feels like the whole industry is not close on anything…The deadline creates the action,” Counsell said via Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
The Cubs have until July 31 to make something happen.
