Baltimore Orioles. 3.. player. RP. Mychal Givens. 11. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

The Cubs have one glaring issue this season, and it’s their bullpen. Chicago thought they got a steal in Craig Kimbrel, who sat on the open market until the midway point of the 2019 season, but it’s been a nightmare thus far. In fact, Kimbrel currently holds a 23.63 ERA in four appearances with the Cubs. With that in mind, the Cubs should be calling the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Mychal Givens.

It’s no secret that the Orioles aren’t contending this year, as their in the midst of their much needed rebuild. Trading Givens to a contending team like the Cubs would be wise. Givens has appeared in four games this season, and he has a perfect 0.00 ERA and six strikeouts.

There’s your guy, Cubbies. Now go get him!
