The Chicago Cubs have agreed to trade right-hander Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers, a team source confirmed to ESPNChicago.com's Bruce Levine on Monday.

The Cubs will acquire Triple-A infielder Mike Olt, Class-A right-hander C.J. Edwards, right-hander Justin Grimm and a fourth player to be named later from the Rangers, a source told ESPN's Jim Bowden.

Fox Sports first reported the trade.

Garza was scheduled to start Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks but was scratched, the source told Levine.

Garza, 29, is one of the hottest pitchers in baseball. He is 5-0 with a 1.24 in his last six starts leading up to the All-Star break. Garza, in the final year of his contract with the Cubs, is 6-1 with a 3.17 ERA in 11 starts this season.

exactly they might be giving up a future star 3B and durable SP for a rental

unless the rangers resign him there getting kobied on this deal
:comeon: Olt like 24-25.I remember reading last year he was the rangers #2 prospect besides profar but he's been trash this year and had the vision problems.

Hopefully the change of scenery and getting a shot to play 3b will help.
