PHILADELPHIA – The Cubs didn’t come out of the All-Star break Friday like a group whose days together are numbered. A game of hacky sack broke out between pitchers in the clubhouse. Teammates exchanged tales of their time off. And the Cubs beat the Phillies 15-2
The reality is, the Aug. 2 trade deadline threatens to shake up the roster after a 35-57 first half. But the way manager David Ross sees it, it doesn’t do much good to talk about possible trades before they happen.
“There’s all kinds of rumors and speculation but nobody really knows,” Ross said.
