It seems that the reliever dam is about to break, with the Chicago Cubs losing out on a rumored target less than 72 hours before the MLB trade deadline. On Tuesday afternoon, the Baltimore Orioles sent relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez and cash considerations to the Toronto Blue Jays for Juaron Watts-Brown.

The priority for the Cubs ahead of the deadline appears to be on adding a starting pitcher while also hoping to pry Eugenio Suárez away from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
