Cubs lefty Drew Smyly figured there was a 50-50 chance he could be traded but says he’s happy he didn’t.
“I’m glad it’s over,” Smyly said of the deadline. “I'm very happy just to be here and stay here to help the younger guys and be around to watch our guys grow and gain experience at the major-league level.
Smyly made his first start since the deadline on Saturday and held the Marlins scoreless across 6 2/3 innings and 106 pitches — both season-highs.One of those young guys Smyly alluded to — Christopher Morel — started a Cubs rally with a leadoff single in the fifth. He came around to score. Another, Nico Hoerner, went 3-for-4.
He and his wife had their third child three weeks ago, though, and Smyly said it would have been “chaos” if he were traded. It came almost five years after he initially signed with the Cubs; Smyly spent the 2018 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.
