(Photo by Ezra Shaw\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Per FanSided.com MLB insider Robert Murray, Michael Wacha stands out as a top trade candidate:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWacha, 34, is signed through 2027 on a three-year, $51 million contract. He\u2019s not the flashiest pitcher, but he\u2019s dependable, and he\u2019s posted four consecutive seasons with an ERA in the 3s. This year is no different, with the right-hander recording a 3.05 ERA in seven starts. His numbers, and his controllability, should make him highly sought after in July and August.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this trade idea proposed by Heavy Sports, the Chicago Cubs acquire Michael Wacha from the Royals in exchange for prospects Kevin Alcantara and Owen Ayers.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the Cubs plan to call up one of their top farm system arms before August, it\u2019s almost imperative that they pull off a trade to ensure a strong finish to the season, or it will be like Deja Vu of last season, when Chicago had a lead in the NL Central before the Milwaukee Brewers completely overtook them in the summer months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Atlanta Braves Announce Signing of 17-Year MLB Player Before Dodgers Series<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Michael Wacha as a Starter<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5996694\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg 5260w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=782,521 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=780,520 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=425,283 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=253,169 253w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=270,180 270w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=225,150 225w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2274540862.jpg?resize=242,161 242w\" alt=\"Chicago Cubs Predicted to Trade for Royals' $51 Million All-Star Starter\" width=\"782\" height=\"521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5996694\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5996694\">GettyKANSAS CITY, MISSOURI \u2013 MAY 04: Michael Wacha #52 of the Kansas City Royals throws against the Cleveland Guardians in the first inning at Kauffman Stadium on May 04, 2026 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Ed Zurga\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Michael Wacha, as Murray outlines, is a very durable starter. He\u2019s attached to a $51 million contract, which shouldn\u2019t be a crazy burden for Chicago to pay.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, Wacha has made seven starts, and holds a 3.05 ERA over 44+ innings and 36 strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>He spent seven seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, and has also pitched for the New York Mets, Tampa Bay Rays, San Diego Padres, and Boston Red Sox over a 14-year MLB career.<\/p>\n<p>Wacha holds a career record of 114-77 as a starter with a lifetime 3.87 ERA over 295 total starts. He\u2019s also sort of reinvented himself with the Royals after bouncing from team to team for a few seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Any starter that is featured in trade rumors and speculation is likely going to be rumored for the Cubs to acquire, given their starting pitcher need, but Cubs fans, would you be okay with acquiring Michael Wacha in a notable trade?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN &#8211; OCTOBER 06: Manager Craig Counsell of the Chicago Cubs looks on before game two of the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":184955,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
