If Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price is going to be traded, it will likely be to a team in the National League Central. The Chicago Cubs have stated that they are out of any potential trade that includes Price.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cubs are unwilling to include their major prospects in any trade talks thus eliminating them from talking with the Rays concerning Price.
The #Cubs have zero interest in trading for #Rays David Price now, #Cubs executive says, wanting to hang onto their prized prospects.

The Cubs are stacked with young talent in their farm system and currently have three of the top 10 prospects in the game in their farm. The three players the Cubs refuse to trade are third baseman Kris Bryant at No. 2, shortstop Addison Russell at No. 5 and shortstop Javier Baez at No. 7.

The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals have expressed interest in Price, but it isn't known if the Rays are even fielding offers for the former Cy Young award winner.
The Cubs currently stand at 42-61 and in last place in the National League Central. Price is currently 11-7 with a 3.08 ERA in 22 starts this season. The Rays stand 4.5 games back in the American League wild card race despite being under .500 for a good portion of the season.
