There’s a mock Willson Contreras trade proposal online. It’s not good, so let’s mock it

Don’t take the bait. Just because somebody posts a trade proposal doesn’t mean I have to go into it in detail. This time, though, a proposal involving Willson Contreras seemed worthy of a full-length post.

In The Athletic last week, Jim Bowden proposed this Cubs/Yankees trade, which is either a trial balloon or some sort of purported historic document:

Trade top right-handed pitching prospects Deivi García and Yoendrys Gómez along with catcher Gary Sánchez to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for catcher Willson Contreras.

The Cubs are rebuilding and are in desperate need of pitching prospects with power arms.
