Pretty much all season, I’ve maintained the Chicago Cubs will eventually wind up trading some combination of Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo. I still believe that to be the case – not because I think that’s the proper course of action, but because I have that little faith in ownership to do the right thing here.
Chicago may have already burned its bridge when it comes to Rizzo. The offer he got in the spring was well shy of what he was eyeing – and there have been no talks since.
