[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1647459, member: 26283"] Not much salary to dump or eat in Joc’s case. The whole point of releasing Schwarber and replacing him with Joc was that they were statistical clones and Joc was a couple million cheaper. Hopefully the Cubs are doing some internal reflection on why Joc continued to underperform while Schwarber busted out with the Nats. But this trade was just getting something/anything from a player that was going to walk in free agency in a couple months, and hopefully the Cubs will be able to pull off several more trades just like this in the next couple weeks. Fangraphs now rates the new kid the 17th best prospect in the Cubs system. Which isn’t great, but it’s not nothing. [/QUOTE]
