In the course of about four days, the Chicago Cubs went from a big player in the free agent and trade market to somewhat non-existent. Much of that isn’t their fault, as the Baltimore Orioles have apparently decided to not part with Manny Machado.

Over the next two months, the Cubs will indeed make additions to the team.
