The Major League Baseball trade deadline is a week away and as of Friday afternoon, the Cubs haven't made any moves just yet.
That's something of a change of pace, considering the major trades Theo Epstein's front office has pulled off around the Fourth of July the last two years - sending Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Oakland A's for Addison Russell last season and trading Scott Feldman to the Baltimore Orioles for Jake Arreita and Pedro Strop in 2013.
But then again, the Cubs are in a completely different position now as buyers instead of sellers.
