It might surprise you to know that Matt Szczur accumulated 200 plate appearances in 2016 on a crowded World Series champion roster. Not only did he record the highest number of PA’s in his young career, he made the most out of it by producing 0.7 WAR.
The utility outfielder has been the subject of trade rumors, some of which suggest the Cubs’ asking price might be too high. And though I would be surprised to see great value coming back in any deal for Szczur, maybe we should increase our expectations if a something is worked out.
