Chicago Cubs: Moves that make sense for the Cubs

#3 Trade Jorge Soler

The Cubs are loaded with talent, and it is a problem. Miguel Montero complained about the lack of communication regarding his role in the World Series just days after the team won it all. The outfield is loaded. Jason Heyward won another Gold Glove for his defense in right field. Kyle Schwarber is back and his bat is needed. Add to this Almora or Fowler, and you have the starting outfield.

But wait, there is more.

If Manager Joe Maddon wants to start Javier Baez at second base, Ben Zobrist starts in the outfield. That would make Schwarber, Heyward, and Zobrist the 2017 starting outfield. Defensively, not ideal, but the offense dangerous.

And, there are more players in the minors that will make the move to the Majors soon.

Soler and his $3.3 million per year deal for the next four years do not have room on the team moving forward. At least, not the room he needs to produce.
