Cubs Recast Rotation with Holmes-Taylor Trade
The Cubs acquired Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from the Mets for infield prospect Jefferson Rojas, bolstering their rotation depth ahead of the trade deadline. Holmes, a 33-year-old impending free agent coming back from a fractured fibula, is expected to join Chicago’s rotation by mid-August after rehab starts, while Taylor provides lefty-mashing bench depth for the stretch run.
