As the July 31st trade deadline approaches quickly, it still remains to be seen whether or not Starlin Castro will be traded.

With the Cubs a year ahead of schedule and contending to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2008, rumors have been circulating that they might go after a big name guy such as Cole Hamels or Johnny Cueto.

In an ideal circumstance, the Cubs would be able to package Castro and some other pieces and make a trade happen for one of those guys.
