MILWAUKEE -- Every time the Chicago Cubs think they've plugged a hole on their roster, another one pops up. After signing closer Craig Kimbrel back in June, they probably figured they were set with righties in their bullpen -- and that was before they realized Brandon Kintzler was one of their best from that side of the mound.
But here the Cubs are, just days from the trade deadline, and they may have to go back into the market for another righty.
"There are areas we're trying to shore up while recognizing there are some (options) internally," Cubs president Theo Epstein said before his team lost a heartbreaker, 3-2, to the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
