Chicago Cubs won’t trade Javier Baez simply for the sake of change

The Chicago Cubs find themselves in a peculiar situation given the beyond lackluster end to the 2019 season. Given the lack of organizational depth, the team almost needs to trade one of its marquee stars to fill its glaring holes.

Kris Bryant has often been rumored to be that marquee star, especially given that he stands to see the biggest raise in his contract come arbitration. Wilson Contreras also seems like a likely candidate given he’s young, controllable in the long-term, and has an obvious backup in Victor Caratini.
