09:47 AM ET 07.14 | The next two weeks might be more about trade rumors than the Cubs' performance on the field. But manager Dale Sveum said trade talk shouldn't detract from the team's play. Pitchers Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza continue to be at the center of trade speculation, but Sveum said the art of the deal could effect what might seem inevitable. The Cubs will expect a lot in return for either.

The Cubs are setting pretty with an extra wild card this year more teams think they have a chance of making the playoffs. When the dusts clears on July 31st the Cubs will probably will have traded 4 or 5 players.

Must be embarrassing seeing the Sox playing good ball across town. Man, the Cubs need to play the Mets more often.

Detract from team play?They need a distraction.

So do their fans. Maybe dreaming about which future stars they might get for Dempster or Garza will be some consolation. Cheap beer might help, too.

Distraction from playing .395 baseball......seems to me they could use a distraction....

Yeah, well Theo might want to temper those lofty expectations some.

Problem is, most of those players aren't wanted by other teams.

Cubs have an excellent future with their young core of players coming through the system.

A "Dynasty" is being created.
