The Chicago Cubs have needed to add a pitcher to their roster for the last few months. They could pull off a deadline blockbuster for an ace.

MLB insiders expect the Chicago Cubs will target former aces Zac Gallen and Sandy Alcantara at the trade deadline.

After a 12-5 win on Friday, the White Sox entered the Game 2 of the Crosstown Series ranked first or second in MLB in runs scored (61), runs per game (8.7), run differential (plus-33), slugging percentage (.544), OPS (.909), hits (80), batting average (.307), on-base percentage (.365) and doubles (23).

This round of the City Series arrives as the July 31 trade deadline nears. The Cubs are in a position to buy while the White Sox will be looking to sell.

TOP PERFORMERS: Lenyn Sosa has a .264 batting average to lead the White Sox, and has 16 doubles, a triple and nine home runs. Chase Meidroth is 14 for 46 with a home run and four RBIs over the last 10 games.
