We have more of an infield logjam - but the Cubs are dangling Soler all over the place, I think they are worried he is too inconsistent. Any non-pitcher not named Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber or Russell could be moved, including our whole farm system. Theo said 2016 was our year from the get go, so we'll see. I have my doubts they have the $$ to get Price, but you never know, that playoff run may open up the pocketbook.
I could see the Cubs trading Schwarber. His stock will never be higher, and he is controllable for 5 more years. The problem with Schwarber is that unless the NL adopts the DH, he is a below MLB defender at catcher or OF. Not saying the Cubs should give him away, but the Cubs would receive a haul in return for a player that is simply more valuable in the AL than the NL. Realize that he is beloved right now by the fanbase, and that may make him untouchable, but good MLB teams sell high.
