The MLB Trade Deadline Has Passed, But Yes, *Some* Players Can Still Be Moved or Traded - bleachernation.com

In other words, you COULD trade a prospect for a prospect right now.

Or a minor league veteran for a prospect.

Or a prospect for a minor league veteran.

Or a minor league veteran for a minor league veteran.

In practical reality, though, what would a trade look like this time of year?

You’d be looking at a team that has a veteran minor leaguer at Triple-A who is capable of being emergency big league depth for a contender down the stretch, and then circumstances arise where some contender REALLY needs a third catcher or an extra lefty or whatever.

One last thought: there’s a tiny chance that there’s some minor leaguer out there whom the Cubs really like, who is set to be a minor league free agent, and that they want to TARGET right now in a minor trade so that they can have the first crack at retaining that player before the offseason.
