Normally, this series will examine trades one at a time. However, in the runup to the 1906 campaign, the Cubs made two colossal trades that deserve to be looked at together. I trust the logic will be apparent. These two linked trades put the Cubs in position to be the National League's top squad for five years.
Well, that's interesting. The Cubs just traded a very experienced pitcher in Jake Weimer to the Cincinnati Reds. But, seriously, that isn't the interesting part.
Weimer brings two very intriguing pieces back to Chicago. Or, possibly two.
