Rumor: Five Cubs in Top 50 Trade Candidates List

[Brock Beauchamp]

Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors compiled an early July top 50 trade candidates list and the Cubs have two players in the top 11 and five players in the top 50 overall.*

*obviously, this assumes the Cubs will in fact be selling at the deadline

Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger lead the Cubs' portion of the list but Michael Fulmer, Yan Gomes, and Kyle Hendricks also make the list.

The Cubs have compelling pieces that other teams will want to acquire, how aggressively should they sell if it comes to that point?

Can we trade Barnhart instead?

I refuse to believe anyone wants Fulmer

Kinda seems like a stretch but teams will pick up almost any reliever at the deadline in hopes of squeezing 25 good innings out of them down the stretch.

He's actually been pretty good lately - only given up 4 ER in his last 20 innings.
