With one team as an obvious seller and the other pushing for a division title, the White Sox and Cubs could help each other out at the trade deadline.

The Colorado Rockies are on pace for 126 losses, which would break the modern-day MLB record of 121 set just last season by the Chicago White Sox.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon is expected to miss "more than a month" with a right calf strain, manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Friday.

CHICAGO — All along, the Chicago Cubs expected to add more pitching by the July 31 trade deadline and reinforce their first-place team for a playoff run. But now that Jameson Taillon is sidelined with a strained right calf muscle, a flexible plan is even more imperative.

Manager Craig Counsell says that Taillon will miss more than a month. That is terrible news to hear, as the All-Star break is a week away.
