The Cubs receive Warren, a 28-year-old spot starter and long reliever coming off the best season of his four-year career. Warren went 7-7 over 131 innings and 17 starts.
Ryan, 33, is a versatile player who would provide depth at a number of positions, having played six different spots in the field in 2015.
