Even with Tyler Chatwood’s three-inning scoreless outing Saturday, it’s pretty clear that he’s not going to do anything more than mopup duty in blowouts the rest of this year.
Saturday, I proposed a bad-contract swap of Chatwood for former Cubs closer Wade Davis. Some of you liked that; others didn’t. The dislike isn’t unreasonable; Davis is older than Chatwood and his contract calls for more money, which would have to be equalized in some way.
Here’s another proposal, made in the comments to Saturday’s article, that might make more sense for the Cubs — send Chatwood to the Yankees for Sonny Gray.
