If you are stl, why wouldn’t you trade him to the Cubs? He does nothing for the long term competitiveness of the Cubs roster. They stink this year and probably want to shake things up. If the cubs go on a run and win a World Series this year or next, what is this hit you think they take from their fans? Are they not going to show up Next year? If anything, I think the cubs would be more hesitant to trade away prospects that will haunt them for the next 6-8 years, than Stl would be to give the Cubs a couple WAR boost that costs a lot of money.
