I was scrolling through the Twitterverse this afternoon and I stumbled upon an interesting proposition:
Interesting. David Kaplan of NBC Sports Chicago made the bold prediction that the Cubs will trade Kyle Schwarber for Whit Merrifield. My insta-reaction to this trade proposal was, “I don’t think that’s quite what the Royals should be looking for here.” Then I started thinking...
If I was the Kansas City Royals, this is absolutely a trade I’d listen to. Kyle Schwarber just finished his age-25 season with 26 HR in 137 games for the Chicago Cubs. He lost a ton of weight last off-season and improved his defense and base running significantly.
