A few days ago Sandy said he's looking for a bat (singular) and relief help.

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any good (even okay) catchers or third basemen available. Wilson Contreras may be the best who may be available catcher, but even then, I'd expect the Cubs are going to want way more than what teams will give up. Maybe the Angel's make Villar (Util IF) available since he's in the final year of his contract? I think he's playing third for them right now.

Relievers may be the only hope during this deadline. Mets are also exploring Luis Castillo as a starter, but not sure how serious they are.
