Morel just has no position . Doesn’t surprise me they traded him . 

Hopefully not for a guy who hasn't hit since May and is currently 6 for his last 75 AB..

 

This has to be another low bargain trade for Jed

who’ll be our new scapegoat now?

Dansby Heyward 

$177 million for a 14.6 WAR in 7 seasons. Still drawing a blank on Jeds logic with this.

[Cuzi]

Not the biggest Paredes fan, but if that's the full deal then I feel like we just robbed the Rays. They must really have a ton of faith in Morel, like the As did with the player they got in return for Murphy.

No he's not.

One would think that a Cub's fan would know better

I really don’t mind trading Morel . Even if he becomes a thing with the bat , he just had no future with Cubs .

[Eeyore]

They didn't kick him out?

[Eeyore]

There he goes.

Jason Heyward put up 7.1 fWAR over 7 seasons in a Cubs uniform.

Dansby Swason has put up 6.4 fWAR in a season and a half. He was the 5th most valuable SS in baseball last season.

The two situations are not remotely comparable.

For what they gave up for a guy that been struggling big since May, they better hope he has a solid end to the season.

weakass hitting backup catcher hits a leadoff double, tags up and advances to 3rd on a flyout, Wisdom swings at a 3-0 pitch and pops it up.  What a frustrating team lol

[JHBulls]

3-0 pitch to Patrick Wisdom

Patrick Wisdom:

[Irrelevant Dude]

Gotta love the pitcher standing there and pointing while he forces his catcher to make an incredibly difficult catch.

[Rex Buckingham]

Cubs clearly hated Morel and are now playing better since he's been traded

[JHBulls]

Two runs with RISP? And 2 outs? What madness is this?

[chibears55]

PCA 2 hits off a lefty
