The Chicago Cubs are now reportedly shopping ace pitcher Jeff Samardzija along with veteran starter Jason Hammel as the team continues to stay at the cellar of the National League Central standings.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the Cubs have already talked to several teams about a potential trade involving Samardzija and Hammel.

According to sources, several teams have expressed interest in Samardzija, including the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.

Two of the three teams mentioned in the report have allegedly made formal offers for Samardzija, who is just 2-6 this season, but has a 2.77 ERA.

Samardzija, who will become a free agent after the 2015 season, has been mentioned in several trade talks since this season started.

"Sources say the Cubs already have had trade talks with multiple teams regarding Samardzija and right-hander Jason Hammel. The Braves, Mariners and Blue Jays are among the most interested, with one source suggesting offers already have been made by at least two teams," the Sun-Times reported.

The Mariners, third in the American League West, are reportedly the most aggressive suitors of Hammel, who is 6-4 this season with a 2.81 ERA.

ESPN reported that, aside from the Mariners, teams needing short-term rotation help like the Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins are expected to bid for Hammel, who is set to become a free agent after this season.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins also could find himself traded this season.

Rollins, who has spent his entire 15-year career with the Phillies, had said he would veto any trade as he looked to surpass Mike Schmidt as the Phillies' all-time hits leader.

But now that he has broken Schmidt's record, Rollins, who has 2,236 hits in his illustrious career, said he is open to waiving his no-trade clause if the Phillies "blow everything up."

"It really depends if everything is blown up," Rollins said, via ESPN. "Then you take that into consideration. If they blow everything up, then of course."
