@frankm as a Cubs fan I still am not sure how to look at it give the depth in the middle. If they would have used one of the middle INF in a big trade for someone like deGrom it would make more sense. But considering he can't hurt us in October anymore I guess I can't complain.
@Kordumb One thought I had was what if this is a precursor to another trade? Trade & sign or trade Zobrist. OTOH, he might just be a needed bat for cheap. Right now everyone but Baez can't seem to buy a hit.
