Trade conversations don’t guarantee anything, but often where there’s smoke, there’s fire. My thoughts in reading the tweet from Jon Morosi is that it’s awfully coincidental that it happened as the Cubs likely knew they were getting their man in Jason Heyward who just accepted a contract offer from them. That makes them my overall favourite trade partners for the Rays in dealing McGee, but I’ll take a look at a half-dozen options in order of likeliness to happen.
