M ILWAUKEE -- In the midst of a heavyweight battle for first place in the National League Central, the Chicago Cubs are still scouring the landscape for help before Thursday's MLB trade deadline. On their wish list: two starters, a reliever, a potential upgrade at third base and perhaps a backup center fielder.

With the best record in the National League, the Chicago Cubs are looking to add more pieces to boost a playoff run.

The 35-year-old right-hander, an All-Star in 2021 with the Rays, had a 3.56 ERA in 30 appearances in his first season with the Orioles.

Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg, who was a fixture at the position for the Chicago Cubs, has died at the age of 65.
