🚨 BREAKING: The Chicago Cubs have reportedly landed one of the top controllable starting pitchers on the trade market.

The Cubs are acquiring Reid Detmers from the Los Angeles Angels in a major deadline move aimed at strengthening their rotation for both the playoff push and the future.

Detmers has emerged as a high-upside left-hander with swing-and-miss stuff, and his years of remaining team control made him one of the most attractive pitchers available.

While reports agree that the trade is complete, early coverage has differed on the exact return headed to the Angels, with additional details expected as the deal becomes official.

Okay, baseball fans, let’s talk about the pain of being the unluckiest player out there. 😢 Reid Detmers was straight-up cursed in 2024—18 homers allowed in 87.1 innings, with 17.1% of fly balls going yard (league average? 11.6%). He was doing everything right, but the ball just kept leaving. Then there’s Dylan Crews in 2025, Nationals rookie hitting a sad .196, even though Statcast says he’s the 13th-unluckiest hitter, with line drives dying at .348 (league’s at .632). Adley Rutschman? His .292 xBA should’ve been fire, but he’s stuck at .222, robbed by crazy catches. These guys are crushing the ball, but it’s like the baseball gods are laughing. Imagine pouring your heart into every swing or pitch, only for a diving fielder or a fluke homer to steal it. That’s the heartbreak of baseball’s unluckiest.
