[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1555394, member: 26283"] Epstein was more conservative with the Cubs than he was with Boston. He never made a mid-season team altering trade like the Garciaparra for Mientkiewicz and Cabrera deal in 2004. Despite a roster practically begging for it, he never had a Cubs equivalent to the 2012 trade where he dumped Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett for spare parts and then went on an epic free agent buying spree before 2013 where he brought in Victorino, Napoli, Stephen Drew, Johnny Gomes and Uehara. The closest he ever came to the latter with the Cubs was when he dumped Castro in order to sign Zobrist before 2016. [/QUOTE]
