PHILADELPHIA — The Cubs didn’t come out of the All-Star break Friday like a group whose days together are numbered. A game of hacky sack broke out between pitchers in the clubhouse. Teammates exchanged tales of their time off. And then they beat the Phillies 15-2.
The reality is, the trade deadline Aug. 2 threatens to shake up the roster after a 35-57 first half. But the way manager David Ross sees it, talking about possible trades before they happen doesn’t do much good.
