This bold Cubs trade idea is either genius or a total disaster

By most accounts, it seems that the Chicago Cubs' trade talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates have cooled down. It doesn't seem that Pirates' veteran starter Mitch Keller is at the top of the Cubs' wish list ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and Ke'Bryan Hayes doesn't make much sense for the team at third base. That hasn't stopped Jim Bowden of The Athletic from proposing a wild trade idea involving both teams.

The good news is that with the deadline less than a week away, we are pretty close to not having to sift through Bowden's wild trade ideas until the offseason.
