5. RHP Adam Warren - New York Yankees
This wouldn't be the biggest splash the Cubs cold make, but it could be one of the better long-term moves they could make at the deadline. Warren would solidify the back end of the rotation as he's performed well this year with a 5-5 record and 3.48 ERA with the Yankees in 2015. However, he's being moved to the bullpen to provide a quality arm back there. If the Yankees think he would be more valuable as a trade chip, they could use him to get some good young talent from the Cubs. Meanwhile, the Cubs would get Warren, who is just 27 and won't reach free agency until 2019.
