What do the Cubs even have to sell?
“Even if they do decide to pivot to sell, what do they really have to sell that would change the fortunes and change the construct of this team?” Matt Spiegel says.

00:00And here's the thing of like, even if they do decide to pivot to sell, what do they really
00:06have to sell that would change the fortunes and change the, the construct of this team,
00:15your corner outfielders who are both hitting well right now, or at least they were hitting
00:20well in app and say a Suzuki, they both have full no trade clauses.
00:25So I mean, they could wave them theoretically.
00:27So you'd listen and have the conversation, but I, I agree that makes it much more unlikely.
00:32And those are both guys making either 19 or 20 or 21 Cody Bellinger being hurt.
00:37I mean, it's, it's not completely impossible that they find somebody to take him, but it's,
00:42it's extremely unlikely over these next eight days, but it's the cells will, they do not
00:50have crochet and Robert and guys like that, but they also will still be trying to win
00:56next year.
00:58So they'll, they should listen on anyone.
01:00They should listen on Tyrone.
01:02And Bruce reported that and Tyrone's making 18 this year, 18 next year.
01:06And the year after that Tyrone is having a good moment and a very good season.
01:10And so that's why they will listen.
01:12So you should absolutely listen on Tyrone.
01:14You should absolutely listen on Nico.
01:16Not that I wouldn't want it obviously, but you would have to listen on anyone.
01:21Not that he's the problem with the team, but Bellinger, Naris, Tyrone, any relief pitcher,
01:29Mark Leiter Jr.
01:30Jr.
01:31Would be one.
01:32Yeah, absolutely.
01:33Created in your pitch lab.
01:34I given him a splitter and he's been your most consistent reliever by a mile.
01:36Of course you would trade him.
01:39Of course you would.
01:40It sucks because man Morrell, Morrell, you'd have to say, Hey, if some team wants Morrell
01:47for just raw power and for DH for the playoff push, go right ahead.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Interesting idea from somebody on hit and run yesterday.
01:54Jazz Chisholm, the center fielder and second baseman for the Marlins with the Marlins take
01:59Pete Crow Armstrong.
02:00And would you consider doing that?
02:03You get a slightly older, um, a slightly older player and he's certainly imperfect and he's,
02:10he's nowhere near defensively.
02:11What PCA is.
02:12I don't think they would do that.
02:17I don't, I think that they still believe in PCA.
