Is the Cubs' Offseason Over?

Are the Cubs done making moves?  Or are there deals in the works?  Here's what Hendry says:
"Obviously, we're always on the lookout," Hendry said. "Maybe it's something we will do in camp. We do like our club. We have a pretty good roster, body-wise, and we also have more people coming to camp internally (minor-leaguers invited to big-league camp) than we ever had. There will be opportunities for some of our young players to make the club."

Asked if additions are forthcoming outside of the organization, Hendry said: "We'll keep our eyes open. We have some ideas of people we want to scout in camp. But if something got going before we started camp, in the next week or two, we'd certainly look into that."
The Cubs are reportedly looking for help in the area of middle relief and/or setup pitchers.  One name being batted around (no pun intended) is Toronto's Jason Frasor.  The Blue Jays' signing of former Cubs closer Kevin Gregg may free up Jason Frasor for a trade to the Cubbies.  Frasor could be a dominant set up guy for the Cubs.

Another name being mentioned as a possible addition to the Cubs' roster is San Diego's Luke Gregerson, who is also a set up man.  His numbers are similar to Angel Guzman's but with a lower price tag.  I would not be surprised to see Guzman traded for Gregerson.

In any event, it looks like the Cubs may still have an offseason move or two left to do.
