[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1571366, member: 29101"] I dunno....trading Darvish before the season starts, under Covid conditions, I'm not sure what you could expect. I think you either dump salary and get a middling return (which they did) or still be on the hook for a decent chunk of Darvish's salary and get some better prospects. I don't think you could expect to dump salary [U]and[/U] get a good return. The Cubs were in a position where if they stood pat they would contend in the Central, but they are a long way from beating the Dodgers or Braves in a playoff series. So what do you do? It looks like tear it down to the studs and start over. If they move Bryant it should probably be at the trade deadline; you hope he has a decent comeback season and has some value to a contender because dealing him now would just be a give away. [/QUOTE]
