Because I go out of my way to avoid Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo, and because life sometimes gets in the way of blogging, I’m a little late to the party on this one. But in the interest of keeping everyone abreast of the Willson Contreras rumors, I felt it behooved me to share the latest on the Cubs’ reported talks with the Marlins.
Craig Mish tweeted about those talks on Tuesday, being careful to note they had not gained any actual traction. He countered that a bit by adding that the Marlins liked to swing big trades and had more than enough young talent to get a deal done.
