MLB insider trying to get Jed Hoyer fired with latest Cubs trade proposal

Once the All-Star break is over, that should bring an end to the wacky trade proposals that are being shared with the hope of creating engagement during a lull in trade rumors. The Chicago Cubs haven't been strangers to the outlandish trade proposals, but Jon Heyman had one for the New York Post that would likely place Jed Hoyer directly on the hot seat if he chose to make the deal.

The premise of the exercise was "one-stop shopping" for each contender. For the Cubs, with a need in the rotation, bullpen, and at third base, Heyman has the North Siders making a wild deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
