Chicago Teams Targeting Reid Detmers
Reid Detmers becomes the focal point of Chicago’s trade calculations as the Cubs and White Sox vie to aid the Angels’ rebuild.
The story so far
Both the Cubs and the White Sox are named as interested parties, and analysts suggest that acquiring Detmers could accelerate Los Angeles’ rebuild by adding a proven starter. The interest reflects Chicago’s broader push to strengthen its pitching depth while providing the Angels with a valuable trade asset. MLB.com highlighted Detmers ‘blocking out the noise’ amid the swirling rumors, while North Side Baseball reported the Angels are simultaneously searching for a catcher, underscoring a roster need beyond starting pitching.
Sports Illustrated compared potential Cubs‑ or White Sox‑led packages to determine which would most quickly move the Angels’ rebuild forward. Yahoo Sports listed the Cubs and White Sox among the clubs generating deadline buzz and noted the Marlins are not in full sell mode. MLB Trade Rumors flagged the Chicago targeting as a key storyline.
No trade agreement has been announced, and the deadline remains weeks away, leaving the ultimate destination of Detmers uncertain. The Angels’ catcher pursuit and the Marlins’ limited selling stance add layers to the negotiations, meaning any move will depend on how Chicago clubs package their offers. Stakeholders will watch for official statements from the teams as the window closes.
