The last time the Cubs traded for a young, struggling Pirate 3B it turned out pretty great for the Cubs. 

Just saying.

One guy was having a 99 wRC+ season before being traded and was a season and a half off a 125 wRC+, Hayes is sitting at a 68 wRC+, had a 59 wRC+ in 2024, and had 86 and 85 wRC+s in 2 of the 3 seasons before that.

Justin Turner sucked for NYM and Balt before taking off with L.A. and of course Aramis. There are numerous cases of players needed a change of scenery before they take off. I'm not saying to acquire him, just a semi interesting parallel to me.
