With the trade deadline approaching quickly, the Chicago Cubs are bound to make some big moves. Although they have been considered one of the best teams so far this year, they still have needs. Most importantly, they need to trade for more starting pitching. They may also look to acquire a third baseman and relief pitchers. With all these trades going down, they will probably have to give up some excellent prospects. The Cubs currently have five top-100 prospects, with their newest being right-hander Jaxon Wiggins. He is Chicago’s\u00a0 No. 5 prospect, and recently, he deservingly slid into the MLB Pipeline Top 100, sitting in the last spot at 100.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far this year, Wiggins<\/a> has pitched at both High-A and Double-A in the Cubs’ organization, and to say that he has performed well is an understatement. Between the two levels, he has pitched to a 2.09 ERA in 60 1\/3 innings. Not only does he have a stellar ERA, but he also has a 0.994 WHIP and 11 K\/9 rate. He currently resides in Double-A Knoxville but has split his 13 games almost evenly between High-A and Double-A.<\/span><\/p>\n
