Levine is reporting the two players coming from Tampa are a minor league outfielder and a minor league infielder.

Updated – 2:28pm CT – According to a report from ESPN 1000, the third player from the Rays in the deal will be a PTBNL (player to be named later). The deal is not official but agreed upon. The eight player trade is still pending physicals.

The Cubs three of their top 10 prospects according to Baseball America … Chris Archer (1), Hak-Ju Lee (4) and Brandon Guyer (10). The Cubs also created three spots on their 40-man roster. With the addition of Garza and the subtraction of Archer, Guyer, Fuld and Chirinos, the Cubs 40-man roster now stands at 37 players.

Archer was the Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the Year … and Guyer was the Cubs Minor League Position Player of the Year.
