The Chicago Cubs are in search of a solid starter following Justin Steele's season-ending injury. MLB insider Mark Feinsand suggests that the Cubs should consider trading for Andrew Heaney, who is currently with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With a 3.33 ERA across 14 starts this season, Heaney has proven to be a reliable option, even if not a true ace. His one-year deal worth $5.25 million makes him a financially appealing choice for the Cubs, especially as they look to stabilize their rotation.

Heaney is enjoying a career year, though he has had ups and downs in the past. The Pirates, meanwhile, find themselves in a tough spot, and may be willing to part with Heaney to gain valuable assets in return. This trade could provide the Cubs with a much-needed boost on the mound at a reasonable cost.
