[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1222824, member: 527609"] Totally disagree, in this way: Andrew Cashner, Scott Feldman, Luis Valbuena and Ryan Dempster are all major contributors of the current Cubs run, because of what they were able to bring in return in trades. The package surrendered for Chapman is worth way, way more than the 1-ish WAR we can expect in return. The opportunity cost of those resources is enormous. Torres and McKinney could have been pieces in a Jose Quintana-type deal in the offseason to replace Jason Hammel. Now it will unquestionably take current MLB pieces to get that kind of move done.
