[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1507395, member: 588522"] Kyle has a better bat and is a better defender than Nick. Not to mention Kyle is under control for 2 more years and will be extremely cheap in comparison. Signing Castellanos to trade Schwarber is a 180 from the mantra the front office has been pushing--unless they shed a ton of money with Schwarber leaving and get a controllable piece or two in return. To me, the only young guy I could see the Cubs peddling is Contreras. Elite bat at catcher, bad defense, but has a backup who looked fantastic behind the plate last year (defensively speaking, which to me is much more valuable), and one of the top non-pitching farm hands plays catcher too. He's a luxury another team surely values higher than the Cubs, but that trigger will be hard to pull. If they can get a controllable above average center fielder, along with a pitcher or two, I'd be thrilled. [/QUOTE]
