The Cubs’ front office knew the team’s moves at the trade deadline were likely going to be subtle instead of splashy.
The shortened 2020 season has given many teams hope that they can still compete for a spot in the postseason with a month to go, and with that being the case, the Cubs hope subtle moves pay big dividends.
The Cubs supplemented their roster on Tuesday by acquiring left-handers Andrew Chafin and cash considerations from the D-Backs and Josh Osich from the Red Sox for players to be named later.
Chafin is 1-1 with an 8.
