Chicago Cubs Regular Season Trades, Transactions and Rumors 2009
We all know that the team that you break camp with is not the same you’ll have at the end of the year. The Chicago Cubs make midseason trades and transactions just like every other MLB team.

There are positions where a team feels like it can improve. Rookies get called up from the minors. Players get hurt. All kind of things can happen, the only certainty is that the Chicago Cubs will make trades to try and get better.
Here is a running record of Chicago Cubs trades and transactions made during the 2009 regular season.
