As the hottest team in baseball in right now, the Chicago Cubs may be pumping the brakes on their plans ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 1.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported Friday that the organization is rethinking its strategy of being sellers at the deadline, which could take star outfielder Cody Bellinger and pitcher Marcus Stroman off the market.
Both players have been a part of trade rumors over the past several days, with the Houston Astros checking in on both of them, per CBS Sports' Mike Axisa.
