The Chicago Cubs haven't been able to find the type of trade package they want in return for Jeff Samardzija, so they will look to make a decision on his future this winter.
If they don't sign him to a long-term extension in the offseason, a trade will become more likely once again.
Chicago was looking for a package of top prospects for Samardzija, who won't be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season.
