Somehow all these changes so far is like dumping out the diaper and putting it back on the baby.
Exactly. They should have signed one or two free agents and made at least a couple of major trades by now!
LOL, no. But I catch the sarcasm. I was only saying that none of them has exactly got me excited yet.
They might kick him upstairs to some special assistant to the GM type role.
If the outfielder/infielder combination is something like Almora and Bote,
I mean if they are going to give him away sure. The cost is probably more Happ and Hoerner though.

That would be the ask.But, don’t see Cubs doing that.Happ yes, but doesn’t make sense to include Hoerner with all those years of control and some SS ability.Could see Happ and Amaya, OR Happ, Bote, and one from Alzolay, Ademan, or Roederer. Don’t think Almora gets you very far but maybe throw him in to one of the above packages. There is a risk with Merrifield because such a late bloomer but maybe similar to Zobrist career or at least more similar than anybody else around. We know what Zobrist meant to Cubs.
Zobrist was a significantly better player than Merrifield on offense and defense.
