Chicago Cubs: What does Daniel Murphy acquisition mean for roster?

Well, this is going to be quite interesting.

It is no secret the Chicago Cubs have one of the deepest position player groups in all of baseball. Manager Joe Maddon can roll out a lineup featuring six former position player All-Stars when the the group is healthy. Now, that number could be seven.

Tuesday, the Cubs acquired second baseman Daniel Murphy from the Washington Nationals for a low-level prospect. Murphy, 33, is a three-time All Star (2014, 2016, 2017) that finished second in MVP voting in 2016 behind Kris Bryant.
