Chicago Cubs: The Yankees might try again for Kyle Schwarber

Luis Severino – RHP

Since this is completely hypothetical, I’m throwing Luis Severino into the mix. Once believed to be the best homegrown pitcher since Andy Pettite, Severino hasn’t blossomed into the pitcher the Yankees hoped for. He’s 13-14 in his MLB career with a 4.00 ERA. He’s been a little better in 2017 with a 3.30 ERA in 14 games, posting a 5-3 record.

Last year the offer was Andrew Miller for Schwarber. The Cubs won’t get that type of offer again this year, but Schwarber isn’t damaged goods, either. If the Cubs want pitching, and the Yankees REALLY want Schwarber swinging for the short porch in right, the Cubs could go for the heavier demands in Severino.
