The 2016 World Series is set, and no matter who wins, it will be a celebration a long time in the making.

The Chicago Cubs are considered the team of destiny as they try to win their first championship since 1908. On the other hand, the Cleveland Indians haven't won a title since 1948, and their fans will be just as excited about the possibility of a win.

Get ready for the trades, folks.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, "There is a growing sense among executives that the trade market is going to be active this offseason."

But who might be on the move?

Well, let's find out, as we break down some of the juiciest rumors heading into the World Series. 

With the World Series set to begin on Tuesday, we're less than two weeks away from the start of another action-packed MLB offseason.

This year's crop of free agents is loaded with impact power bats and high-octane relievers but is historically lacking in starting pitching options.

As a result, it could be a busy winter on the trade market, with contenders forced to wheel and deal in an effort to upgrade their rotations and non-contenders looking to sell high on their controllable arms.

There’s a growing conundrum plaguing the minds of baseball’s best executives. To a man, each is searching for the sport’s most elusive prize: a shutdown bullpen.

See, hundreds of pitchers are drafted and singed by all 30 organizations every year. But none enters the sport’s professional ranks wanting to pitch in relief. Each has intentions on being a starter, as is evident by the oft-used phrase “he was sent to the bullpen,” which has an inherently negative connotation.

The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians have both earned adoration by punching their tickets to the World Series. Only one long-suffering MLB franchise can obtain a happy ending.

Some people might have heard that the Cubs haven't won a championship in a while. Cleveland can't match the century-long misery, but it hasn't captured a title since 1948. 

Thirteen-year MLB pitcher Brian Anderson grew up in Northeast Ohio, living the history and living the heartache.

For the entire 2016 postseason, the Chicago Cubs' Kyle Schwarber and Cleveland Indians' Danny Salazar have been like the rest of us—spectators.

When the World Series launches Tuesday at Progressive Field, that could change.

Rosters won't be set until Tuesday morning. There are strong indications, however, that both players could see action.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Danny Salazar hasn't pitched since suffering an arm injury on Sept. 9, but he might return for the World Series.

Continue for updates.

No matter who wins the 2016 World Series, history will be made. The Cleveland Indians' last championship came in 1948. The Chicago Cubs' last World Series appearance was three years earlier.

Facebook wasn't even invented yet! Everyone's internet was dial-up! There was only a Starbucks every two blocks instead of every block!

A long drought is going to come to an end at the conclusion of the 2016 World Series between the National League champion Chicago Cubs and the American League champion Cleveland Indians.
