The Chicago Cubs could look to swing a monster trade with the Minnesota Twins to separate themselves in the loaded National League.

As the Chicago Cubs head into the All-Star break, they will shift their focus to improving for the playoff push in the second half of the season. It was a fantastic first half of the year, regardless of what happens against the New York Yankees for the rest of their series.

But they'll need to make some moves at the trade deadline. The team is in need of pitching help, both with their starting rotation and their bullpen. There will be plenty of arms available. Tyler Ward of Bleacher Report listed the Cubs as a possible fit for former Cy Young Sandy Alcantara.
