With the GM Meetings beginning tomorrow in Scottsdale, AZ, trade talk has really intensified and some potential scenarios are coming into focus. A number of teams with historically high payrolls such as the Cubs and Red Sox will be looking to upgrade their rosters while trying to find ways to trim some of the excess off of their bottom lines.
The Cubs have a player who would be a fit for just about any team in baseball, and that’s starting catcher Willson Contreras. According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, a number of baseball’s front office personnel believe Theo Epstein will make his all-star backstop available this winter.
