Cubs ship off 3 players ahead of trade deadline

CHICAGO – The overhaul is officially under way for the Cubs.

Three players are on the move as the Cubs rebuild an organization in need of young talent. Entering the final hours until the 3 p.m. nonwaivers trade deadline, the Cubs pulled off two trades during their 14-4 win Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Catcher Geovany Soto is headed to the Texas Rangers, reportedly for right-hander Jacob Brigham, although the deal is not yet official. The Cubs also traded left-handed pitcher Paul Maholm and outfielder Reed Johnson to the Atlanta Braves for right-handed pitchers Arodys Vizcaino and Jaye Chapman.
