As Cubs weigh their deadline options, the Brewers make a trade with the Rays

I wouldn't describe most Chicago Cubs fans as feeling particularly patient ahead of Thursday's trade deadline - and despite it being a relatively small move, the rival Milwaukee Brewers acquiring catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays will do little to help that.

All weekend, fans clamored for Jed Hoyer to make a big trade ahead of this week's huge series between the Cubs and Brewers in Milwaukee - but the only news we've received is that of Hoyer's multi-year extension, which was announced by the team Monday afternoon.

Jansen, a rental on a one-year, $8 million deal, comes to the Brewers in exchange for a yet-to-be-named prospect.
