The Cubs have been quiet so far this offseason and one of the major storyline remains if they will trade one of the team’s young stars to shed salary and gain prospects.
Kris Bryant has been the most mentioned trade candidate, but the team’s asking price “is a joke,” according to a former MLB general manager. Willson Contreras has been another name mentioned in trade rumors, but the asking price for him has been described as “absurd.”
What about Javy Baez? Would the Cubs trade him?
NBC Sports Chicago’s David Kaplan talked to one baseball executive who said that’s not going to happen.
