Here’s a wild Cubs trade proposal from a national writer involving Kris Bryant. Would it work?

We’re in the silly season for trade proposals. There is no better example of that than this trade proposal, made by national baseball writer Joel Sherman on MLB Network, tweeted Thursday by the @CubsLive account:

The worst possible trade proposal goes to @Joelsherman1.

Phillies get:
• Kris Bryant
• Jason Heyward

Cubs get:
• Jay Bruce
• Jean Segura

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. So the Cubs, in this proposal, would send $86 million worth of Jason Heyward’s contract and about $18.
