I think TT is probably close to accurate on the trade front. I don't think trading Stroman or Bellinger is going to net them a game-changing player. Also, if they are buying, I don't think they will be dealing from the top 10 or so. There are a lot of OF redundant prospects, and a few IF and SP. So the way I see it now, buying or selling is nibbling at the margins. I think most people agree that the Cubs are not a strong team, and won't be after the deadline. But if they get into the playoffs, the playoffs are what they are.
