CHICAGO (AP) — Two people familiar with negotiations say the Chicago Cubs have a tentative trade in place to obtain right-hander Matt Garza from the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays would receive outfielder Sam Fuld, minor league outfielder Brandon Guyer and several other prospects for Garza, who would be sent to Chicago along with prospects, the two people told The Associated Press.
They spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the trade was not yet final. It is subject to physicals for some players and approval of medical records for others, the two people said.
The 27-year-old Garza pitched a no-hitter against Detroit last season, when he went 15-10 with a 3.91 ERA. He spent his first two major league seasons with the Twins and the last three with the Rays.
