I was texting with my brother-in-law on Thursday about the state of the Chicago Cubs. Admittedly, we have very different thoughts about this team and the direction that should be taken at the trade deadline.
He’s of the mindset that the last three weeks are more indicative of what this roster is capable of than what we saw early on in the year when the bats looked lost and the rotation was mired in deep, deep struggles. Meanwhile, I think that, unless Jed Hoyer is confident he’ll be able to get an extension done with at least one of the team’s ‘big three’, he needs to be a seller this summer.
