I took a day-long break from baseball and social media yesterday and missed all of the shenanigans revolving around Nolan Arenado and a potential trade to the Cubs. Whichever team acquires Arenado is going to have to include a young catcher in the deal. Because Chicago has more catching depth than any team in baseball, including Willson Contreras, Victor Caratini, and Miguel Amaya, it’s not surprising that a marriage between the Cubs and Rockies seems like kismet to some.
But before you get too excited, you should probably pump the brakes just a bit.
