The Chicago Cubs are scouring the market, looking for starting rotation and bullpen additions ahead of next week's Aug. 3 trade deadline. The Texas Rangers, a contender in the American League, are seeking to improve in the same areas - so why are the Rangers keeping tabs on Chicago? It's easier (but still somewhat challenging) to get to an Eovaldi trade, despite the Rangers' need of pitching. As for the Rangers, it might take a creative masterclass for Young to improve his team without adding payroll. His two highest-dollar players are important pieces on this team and trading either would feel like a one step forward, one step back-type scenario.
