Chicago Cubs: Looking back at the Josh Harrison trade of 2009

Way back in 2009, the Chicago Cubs traded second baseman Josh Harrison to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he became a division foe for many years to come.

2009 seems like forever ago. This was the last season the Chicago Cubs finished over .500 before the Joe Maddon era began. The team came off back-to-back seasons in which they won the division and proceeded to get swept in the first round.

Again, that seems like ages ago, but one player the Cubs dealt with in during this time still has a place in Major League Baseball today and that is Josh Harrison.
