Moises Ballesteros' name came up in failed trade negotiations for the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, and it seemed that the Cubs had very little interest in moving one of their top prospects. Ballesteros had a newfound role on the Cubs' 26-man roster, as his bases-loaded double on Wednesday gave the team a much-needed jolt against the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite that success, Ballesteros' return to the Major League level was short-lived as he was optioned to Triple-A ahead of Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
#Cubs roster moves:
-INF Willi Castro, RHP Andrew Kittredge and LHP Taylor Rogers have reported and will be active today.
