I’m going to be honest guys. I don’t know why I’m writing this. This will be posted relatively close to the trading deadline, I am sure it will be superseded by another post and absolutely nobody is interested in reading a preview of a team the Cardinals face 18 times this year. But it is my turn to write the preview and that’s just what I got to do.
Until more information comes to light, and I’m writing this Monday night, so more information may come to light, here is what the Cubs have done this trading deadline:
- Traded reliever Chris Martin for utility man Zack McKinstry
- Traded reliever Scott Effross for 24-year-old Hayden Wesneski
- Traded Dixon Machado for 29-year-old career minor leaguer Raynel Espinal
Assuming I don’t get home from work in time to update this, I expect more of their bullpen to be raided by the time they face the Cardinals.
