A proposed Chicago Cubs trade would get two top 12 prospects back from the Boston Red Sox system.
had an opportunity out of the All-Star break to show the front office that they're a better team than what was shown in the first half. Instead, they lost the first two games of a three-game set against theWith the July 30 trade deadline almost a week away, the Cubs are in the definition of a do-or-die situation. Any loss at this point of the season essentially kills the chances of them being buyers.
With players to trade, it's time to start thinking about who could bring back a favorable package. According to Bob Nightengale, Jameson TaillonHe mentions Jameson Taillon and Erick Fedde as possibilities.proposed a deal that has Taillon going to the Red Sox after the rumors. His trade would move Taillon and cash considerations for Wikelman Gonzalez and Allan Castro.
"Let's assume the Cubs are willing to eat about half of Taillon's remaining contract. With that in mind, the prospect capital in the deal is completely dependent on how much of the contract would end up on each side. "Meaning, that if the Cubs, hypothetically, were to eat the entire deal, they would get significantly more prospects. If the Red Sox had to take the entire contract, they wouldn't have to send as much to Chicago. Let's assume this is in the middle."
Taillon's four-year, $68 million contract is where things get difficult in a trade for him. He does have another two years on his contract, and the right-hander has proven he can be an above-average arm, so it's not necessarily the worst contract out there.On the season, Taillon has been better than ever before, posting the highest ERA+ of his career at 136. His 3.10 ERA would also be a career best if he keeps it up.
