In his second move of the day, Rick Hahn went shopping in Wrigleyville for a new relief pitcher, picking up Ryan Tepera from the Cubs for Bailey Horn, a pitcher in Class A Winston-Salem.  Tepera, best known for garnering a National League MVP vote last season thanks to a misclick by a St. Louis writer, has put up a career-best 2.91 ERA this season, with 50 strikeouts in 43.1 innings.

Horn, 23, was selected in the 5th round of the 2020 draft and posted a 13.09 ERA with Winston-Salem, issuing 11 walks and 12 hits over 11 innings. with the Dash.  To make room for Tepera on the 40-man roster, pitcher Evan Marshall has been moved to the 60-day IL.

With a little less than 23 hours until the trade deadline, the Cubs have made 3 moves and the White Sox 2.  I have a gut feeling that the White Sox are done, but the Cubs still have some work to do.
