The return might not be great but im sure some team would take him with pitcher injuries decimating most of the league. Also some team might think they can get more out of him with a mechanical change. Kind of how like the Cubs did when they messed him up last season -
Basically what Tryptamine said about him beating his periphs right now. Think it would be great to sell high on him now and achieve 2 things the FO is going to use an excuse not to spend next year. Replacement wise nothing but unknowns internally but could get an extended look at Brown and Wicks when they are healthy.

Castellanos is just an absolute monster in wrigley
-
Opens up money next year and gets them under the luxury tax this year. Think it would be the ideal move for them if they cant deal Happ or Bellinger
-
Happ and Taillon raising their trade value
-
I believe he’s negatively affecting the pitching staff. Im ok with a catcher being a turd on offense but you have to have some value with the glove.
-
Literally anyone, hes the worst catcher in the league. His defense is ass and he has a 46 wRC+. Tucker Barnhart is outhitting him!!!!
-
Jesus how many Phillies fans here
-
Little and Hodge looking real good tho
-
Swanson at a 82 wRC+ and a .282 wOBA. Incredible ineptitude from a 27 mil player
-
We are seriously at the point where Amaya should be released
-
Love the outs on the bases
-
Home run ball is killing Shota
-
Hes bleeding on the thumb
-
They have a ton of fat on the 40 man position player wise. Not much on the pitching side, barely have enough roster spots for those 4 pitchers that are coming off the 60 day. Unless if they decide to part ways with Hendricks and Smyly or possibly trade Taillon
-
Looks like attendance isnt taking a hit
-
that’s what Jed was probably thinking too, with his aversion to long, big money contracts. In those last couple seasons Turner will probably decline but right now hes a monster 138 wRC+ and great value on the basepaths. thats what I miss about Theo, he treated each season like it was sacred, Jed configures his contracts so that he can sell in any given year
-
Would much rather have Turners bat
-
Might have a chance with both Harper and Schwarber out, but these Cubs have been getting dominated by everyone besides the white sox so maybe thats a little too optimistic
-
So they can for sure get under the luxury tax this year and then half ass it again next year.
-
Not sure how I feel selling low on Hoerner, would really prefer if they could unload one of those big outfield contracts instead.
-
Maybe Hoyer has learned his model is a failure. He was touting the Tampa Bay Ray as the ideal method with them winning without superstars but clearly it isn’t working for Hoyer. With some of his interviews this season it seems like hes alluded that the team needs a superstar but its not feasible for this current season.
-
Your first point makes sense to me, but i disagree about how his contract will play out. Probably will end up better than Bogaerts, who has been a disaster but with how quickly Swansons bat and glove have trended down this season i have doubts his next few years will be anywhere close to as valuable as he was last year.

Id rather have Turners bat
