Christopher Morel Reportedly Mentioned in Tyler Glasnow Trade Talks, Cubs Discussing Options with Rhys Hoskins

I wrote on Monday that there’s no way the Cubs would consider trading Christopher Morel to the Rays straight-up for Tyler Glasnow, yet Morel’s name has apparently surfaced in talks between the two teams. That only makes sense if it’s either a matter of the Rays simply asking for Morel just because or if the trade is expanding to include more players. The Rays seem likely to move Manuel Margot and are reportedly willing to discuss Randy Arozarena, then there’s also Brandon Lowe to consider.
