Chicago Cubs: Chris Archer should be an off-season target
Chicago will have to part with some top talent to get Archer
If the Cubs do decide to pursue Chris Archer and the Rays are willing to trade him, it will take some serious talent from the Cubs to land him. With a farm system thinned following the trades of Dylan Cease, Eloy Jimenez and Jeimer Candelario, the Cubs would no doubt have to part with some big league talent.
Of course, the first name Cubs fans think about when that is mentioned is Kyle Schwarber. While Schwarber has just 172 games under his belt, he is slashing .218/.331/.455 in those games. In addition to that, Schwarber has struck out 200 times in 573 at-bats.
Even with Schwarber’s struggles, he has the ability to become a 30 home run and 100-RBI guy year-in and year-out. Also, if this trade was made, it would mean Schwarber would be playing in the American League were the DH is employed.
