On deadline day, closer David Robertson was the first Cub to be traded away.
The Cubs sent him to the Phillies for minor league pitcher Ben Brown on Tuesday.
Next to go was veteran reliever Mychal Givens, whom the Cubs traded to the Mets in exchange for right-handed pitcher Saúl González.
The most notable development on Tuesday was who the Cubs did not trade: Willson Contreras and Ian Happ. Both were at the center of days of trade rumors.
The first three players the Cubs traded away were all relievers, with Robertson joining Chris Martin and Scott Effross.
