Frustration continues to grow as position player depth around the primary core continues to struggle for the Chicago Cubs. This month has not been pretty for Daniel Desaclso (.118/.318/.118), Addison Russell (.167/.229/.238), Carlos Gonzalez (.184/.319/.316) or Albert Almora (.196/.229/.217). It is pretty hard to find consistency when things are not going well for this many bats. It may be time for Theo Epstein to explore some other options.
We are roughly a month away from the trade deadline, and we have a better idea of who is selling and who is buying.
