Some thoughts on the players the Cubs received in the Andrew Chafin trade

Before I start, one thing seems important to say about Andrew Chafin. Back in the day, Johnny Carson was the king of late-night television. Whether in New York or California, his show resonated with people across the country. Among his gifts was being very self-deprecating. He rarely took credit for being any good at a crafted he'd about perfected. While Chafin isn't the Carson of southpaw relievers, he has the self-deprecating thing down. If you cried a bit at his leaving the Cubs, here's a glass for you to toast his season.

This was a fantastic trade by Jed Hoyer.
