The Brewers gave the Cubs a run for their money in the division race in 2017 and forced the Cubs hand in acquiring Jose Quintana and Justin Wilson. With the Crew being so close to the Cubs this year, why would they want to make a deal to help the Brewers get better? I don’t know the exact answer to that. The only logical explanation is if it was beneficial to both sides and Cubs GM Theo Epstein believes it would improve his team.
Who would the Cubs look to deal?
The Cubs have a logjam of talented position players.
