The Cubs are reportedly open to trading anyone on their roster this off season….and that apparently includes Kris Bryant, the focus of this article from ESPN. Here’s why this could happen:
- They have yet to reach a long term deal with the 3B.
- They could net a new crop of young prospects for a flip…and find the next Bryant, Rizzo or Baez.
- David Bote’s performance filling in for him, the article claims….(but frankly I don’t agree.)
- The track record of Theo Epstein flipping players in their prime.
It will be an interesting winter for the Cubs. — [eric]
