Matt Garza has pitched very well in consecutive outings, only adding to speculation that the Cubs could trade him.
"I'm looking forward to the next five days," Garza said when asked about trade chatter. "I think I face Milwaukee in Milwaukee and I will be ready."
The Cubs might be able to pull off the deal that escaped them last year, when Garza suffered a season-ending arm injury in July.
Things looked bleak this spring, though, when a left lat strain put him on the disabled list to start the season.
