Chicago Cubs should take a look at trading for Mitch Haniger

Imagine that. Jerry Dipoto is wheeling and dealing up in Seattle. With that in mind, the Chicago Cubs should take advantage and make a deal with the M’s.

So far this offseason the Chicago Cubs have remained relatively quiet while the Seattle Mariners have been making headlines on a near-weekly basis. The Mariners decided to take a new direction this winter by starting a complete rebuild of their team, trading stars and money away for young prospects and talent.

So far they have made five major trades and dealt the likes of James Paxton, Edwin Diaz, Robinson Cano, Jean Segura and Mike Zunino. General manager Jerry Dipoto even traded Carlos Santana, who he recently acquired in a trade for Segura two weeks ago, from a hospital bed at the Winter Meetings.

With the Mariners in full on sell-mode, the Cubs should seriously entertain the idea of dealing for outfielder Mitch Haniger. Haniger is the Mariners’ most valuable remaining asset but no one on their team is considered untouchable. Would it take quiet a haul to pry him away? Absolutely. But for the right price, he could be a perfect fit for the Cubs.
