Alright, you know the drill. It’s trade season, which means being inundated by rumors and speculation galore when it comes to which team is trading for whom and what they’ll have to give up to get him. Given their competitive position and large-market status, not to mention a little uncertainty with their pitching staff, the Cubs are going to come up frequently in trade talks.
Even though many of the reports end up being smokescreens and/or ways for a team to create leverage for the player they’re hoping to move, there are plenty that have merit. As such, I wanted to take a look at some of the names that have been associated with the Cubs to this point.
