It is actually really long odds that two of the prospects the Cubs traded would be two of the hottest in the game right now. Cam Smith and Zyhir Hope do have star potential upside (and Jackson Ferris has also been leaping up prospect rankings) and since the Cubs traded them they have all been taking off. That being said, Michael Busch had a solid rookie year with the Cubs at a position they desperately needed and Kyle Tucker is the superstar they have needed for years. If Jed can re-sign Tucker (which will make or break this team and possibly Jed's Cubs tenure as president) and Busch continues to improve and develop, then these trades will go down as positive moves for the Cubbies.

Interesting idea and perhaps Seiya can be an emergency option in CF, but the last two years have shown us Seiya is an elite hitter and a below average OF. All of us keep saying "But Seiya was such a great defensive player in the NPB!" Well we know a lot of things don't always transfer from the NPB to the MLB. Seiya had a 140 wRC+ as a DH and a 130 wRC+ as a RF. The Cubs need Seiya to stay healthy this season (150 + games) and playing him a majority of the time at DH is a great way to help with that.

The Cubs lineup is looking solidly better this year, but I think you definitely need Tucker in the two hole followed by Seiya vs. righties or lefties. We need to maximize his number of AB's.
