The Chicago Cubs have long been expected to be one of the most aggressive teams at the trade deadline, which is now less than a week away.

The Cubs are going shopping this summer, but any move figures to cost them young talent from their highly rated farm system. That's risky business as the front office tries to think about now and the years to come.

On Friday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Cubs would acquire Ryan, sending the Twins a three-prospect package including catcher Moises Ballesteros, infielder Jefferson Rojas, and right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins.

MLB insiders expect the Chicago Cubs will target former aces Zac Gallen and Sandy Alcantara at the trade deadline.
