Most likely something headlined by pitching, but if we're taking simply value based. You're probably talking a fairly big piece like Caissie as a headliner or like 2 guys in the 8-12 range.
-
Shaw has got to be up in the next few days. By wRC+ the Cubs have gotten a 50 out of 3B which is 2nd last in the league beyond a seemingly impossible 18 from the Brewers.

Colorado now on pace to go 26-136(.159)

Baltimore fires their coach in, what has been, one of the most disappointing seasons I can recall.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-16-25
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Hot take, I'd rather deal Caissie. Right now of the Iowa guys that could actually headline deals I'd put them in this order for people I'd part with. 1. Triantos 2. Caissie 3. Long 4. Alcantara 5. Shaw -
Yeah, it would be really unlikely for him to get through the 6th anyway.
-
He really settled in the last 2 innings, still a low amount of swing and miss though.
-
Horton seems to be getting ahead of people, but he's not putting them away as much as I'd like to see.
-
Yeah it has been groundball after groundball so far. I don't remember this being an issue at all in the minors.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-14-25
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I've thought about this several times. The eye test for me is really weird. His bat feels a kind of slow, but he continually squares up the ball. I'd be interested to see his numbers against 95+MPH. -
He's not untouchable, but the Cubs are pretty limited in their upside arms too and after Horton+Wiggins there isn't a lot of exciting.
-
Add Felix Bautista to that please. The problem is the O's will definitely want pitching back and the Cubs don't really have any to give unless you're going to give them Wiggins. There's no other pitcher the Cubs have who could headline a deal for those 2.
-
I feel bad for Chicago, but Reinsdorf did not deserve to be bailed out like that.
-
Really interesting that Ozzy Trapilo is working exclusively at left tackle so far.
-
Make that 6-31
-
Rockies are now 6-30. That's 27-135 pace. That's almost impossibly terrible.
-
Merryweather blows the game wide open without getting a single out. Well done.
-
Merryweather completely pissing down his leg.
-
Bullpen doing bullpen things
-
Laff, nice pitch Merryweather.
-
Shota not hitting his spots again.
-
Hey look, more strikes outside the zone. Ump you're half the reason no one can get on base today.
-
Then need to make this Peralta's last inning. They're clearly not going to get to him today.
-
Shota couldn't locate much in the first, but since then he's peppering the edges.
-
It was a terrible jump and an absolutely perfect throw.
