Cubs Trade Rumors: Putting Together Palatable Trade Proposal for Whit Merrifield

I’ve long said that I don’t do trade proposals as a general rule, but it’s really more of a guideline that I can choose to follow at my leisure. So between the lack of salient news and much bigger personal issues looming in the next few days, I figured I’d break containment for the Whit Merrifield trade proposal everyone’s been waiting for. Well, maybe just like two of you, but still.

Oh, I also cheated by using a trade template someone else established, so I guess I can still claim to be following my own rules.

The real flashpoint in any theoretical deal to this point as been using Nico Hoerner as a starting point for negotiations.
