The recent talk about a trade for the Chicago Cubs‘ Addison Russell straight up for Manny Machado has seemed a little bit excessive. Four years of service for just one from Machado? So we took a look at the realistic chance the Cubs might make a trade with the O’s (There isn’t really), and what they could do to make it a fair trade. The O’s will still get controllable players, but the value that comes back to the Cubs won’t be so one-sided.
Russell was once one of the top prospects in baseball.
