"At the same, I think everybody has recognized there are a lot of teams still in the race. There are not too many teams willing to give guys up and if they are, the asking price is pretty high.
"That being said, it would be nice to make a move and it would be nice to do something to help us out for the time being. The sooner we do it, the better."
Braun said the Cubs' starting pitchers are "a lot better than ours."
"They threw the ball a lot better than our starters did," said Braun. "They certainly swung the bats better than we did as well. Clearly, they were the better team.
"It was nice to at least get one win but they clearly outplayed us and outperformed us during the series."
"Their starting pitching was clearly a lot better than ours in this series. All four guys we saw in this series are No. 1, worst-case, No. 2 type starters. They make big pitches in big situations. You're not always going to get hits in those situations."
"To show everybody we're for real, we can go out there and make a move and improve our ball club. We want to head in the right direction, not the wrong direction. "
