Caps:

Cubs +$1.0
McCann dropped. As in real life, James McCann's tenure with the Detroit Tigers has come to an end. I think his playing time in CHW will be more equitable than is assumed and a decent backup catcher makes for a good depth piece here, but his two years of control does not fit my timeline.
Like my recent trade of Jarrod Dyson, this deal is for quantity over quality; mix seeds for the farm. My primary targets were Roederer and Davis, 2018-2nd rounders with decent rookie debuts. They are far away but with upside and I'm a believer in CHC hitter development. Gallardo is even further away and I don't trust the cubs with pitching prospects, making him a straight up lotto ticket. It's hard to resist the glowing reports though; a 17 year old pitching prospect, what can go wrong? Stick around with me until 2024 and lets find out together.
Thank you Dave! Wish you a great season.
