What started as a small blurb has quickly turned into a trade that may be finalized soon, as Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune now says the framework for Yu Davish trade is all but done. The two teams are nearing an agreement and the Padres “have accepted the haul they will have to send to the Cubs,” which is the most important part here.
Acee did not mention any other players by name and did not indicate that the Cubs would be including a catcher in the deal, so we’ll have to wait and see on that.
