The Chicago Cubs have reportedly been open to trading their core players this offseason, but high asking prices have prevented any major deals from getting done.
According to David Kaplan of NBC Sports, executives around the league believe the team is especially looking for too much in return for Kris Bryant.
"The Cubs' asking price for Bryant is a joke," a former GM said. "They want nearly ready major league talent at the level of a Gleyber Torres type or close and there is no chance a team is going to give them a package of those caliber of players.
