Cubs / Dbacks Trade

[Chicago Cubs]

Dbacks receive:
Tyler Nevin 1B/3B COL - $0.2
Pick 5.17 in prospect draft

Cubs receive:
$4.5m IFA bidding money
Hunter Harvey SP BAL - $0.2


Very tough to part with Nevin here since his future seems pretty bright as another good hitter coming up the Rockies ranks to hit at Coors eventually. But that was the price to acquire Harvey and some more IFA money. Thanks for the deal Donnie.

We hated to see Harvey go, as we believe he still has some upside and is relatively young. But we need to make this deal for Nevin as we are fairly slim talent wise at 1B. Nevin is expected to progress thru high A and get to AA this season. We have seen him ranked as high as #5 in the Rockies system and believe his floor to be as an MLB regular. The pick we received is a mid rounder, right where the best sleepers tend to be.


Thanks to Josh for the deal, it's appreciated.
