Four years ago today, the Cubs made a trade with the Cincinnati Reds that saw them trade Sean Marshall at the height of his value. Pundits will talk about a move and dissect it to death, but to fully know who won or lost a trade you have to let it play out. It’s been four years so it’s time to take a look at where we stand.
The Trade
Cubs Send: Marshall (RP)
Reds Send: Travis Wood (SP), Dave Sappelt (OF), and Ronald Torreyes (2B)
The Initial Reaction
VFTB Said:
I like the trade a lot, despite the fact that Marshall was one of my favorite Cubs.
