The Chicago Cubs stayed quiet at the MLB trade deadline as Jed Hoyer prioritized the future over rental starters in a tight pitching market.

"The Cubs desperately want another starter at the deadline, targeting Mitch Keller of the Pirates, and would include outfield prospect Owen Caissie to make it work," Nightengale wrote on Sunday. Keller has previously been an All Star, and he would be a boost near the front of the Cubs' rotation.
