</TD></TR><TR><TD width="100%">Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Cubs have acquired pitcher Steve Trachsel from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for pitcher Rocky Cherry and infielder Scott Moore.</TD></TR><TR><TD width="100%"> </TD></TR><TR><TD width="100%">Trachsel, 36, was 6-8 with a 4.48 earned run average in 25 starts for the Orioles this season. He returns to the team which made him an eighth-round choice in the 1991 draft, and has compiled a 140-151 record with a 4.29 ERA in 406 career games over 15 seasons with the Cubs, Devil Rays, Blue Jays, Mets and Orioles.
The deliberate right-hander is perhaps best-known for surrendering Mark McGwire's then-record-breaking 62nd home run on September 8, 1998. He is expected to be added to the Cubs' roster this weekend.
Cherry, a 28-year-old right-hander, was 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 12 appearances with the Cubs this season. He also posted a 2-0 record with a 4.59 ERA in 43 games with Triple-A Iowa.
Moore, just 23, has spent most of this season with Iowa and has batted .233 with two homers and five RBI in 18 games over the last two years with the Cubs.
