SAN FRANCISCO – Anticipation had been building since the Cubs’ last home series, and on Saturday, the club made their first trade of the deadline. The Cubs sent reliever Chris Martin to the Dodgers for utility man Zach McKinstry, the Sun-Times confirmed.
The Cubs signed Martin this spring to a one-year, $2.5 million deal. He’s likely the first of a trio of Cubs back-end relievers who the Cubs will deal before the Aug. 2 deadline. Martin posted a 4.31 ERA in his short tenure with the Cubs.
McKinstry, 27, is slashing .335/.417/.487 in Triple-A this season. He’s had just 11 major-league at-bats this year, after playing in 60 games last year
