The baseball world lost a legend on Monday, as longtime Chicago Cubs second basemen and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg passed away at the age of 65. Sandberg, the 1984 National League MVP, a 10-time All-Star and a nine-time Gold Glover, was known as much for his elite hitting and infield defense as he was for his quiet leadership and pleasantness.

The Chicago Cubs are still searching for a starting pitcher, and one writer believes this package could get the trade done for Joe Ryan.

Sandberg was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005, the same year that the Cubs retired his No. 23 jersey. The team unveiled a Sandberg statue outside of Wrigley Field last year, too, which was quickly covered in flowers, Cubs gear and other memorabilia after news of his death broke on Monday.

Chicago Cubs legendary second baseman and Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg has died following a nearly two-year battle with prostate cancer, his family announced Monday night. He was 65.

New Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd recalled how the late Ryne Sandberg made him immediately feel welcome in Chicago.

If they acquire Eugenio Suarez, the Chicago Cubs might fix their hot corner problem—and become the NL Central favorites.
