M ILWAUKEE -- In the midst of a heavyweight battle for first place in the National League Central, the Chicago Cubs are still scouring the landscape for help before Thursday's MLB trade deadline. On their wish list: two starters, a reliever, a potential upgrade at third base and perhaps a backup center fielder.

The Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks have been linked to trades all week. There's a chance these two sides come together on a deal in the coming days.

Less than 24 hours before the upcoming MLB trade deadline, here is one last minute deal that the Chicago Cubs need to make.

On Tuesday, Chicago Cubs fans and team employees visited Ryne Sandberg’s statue on monument row in Gallagher Way to pay their respects to the late Hall of Famer.
