As the Cubs prep the shelves for this year’s selloff, where do Willson Contreras and Ian Happ rank among their trade assets?
Which brings us to the weekly Trade Deadline Power Rankings of Cubs trade chips, Memorial Day Edition:. The right-hander with two-plus years left on his $71 million deal deserved better than a no-decision for hisSunday against the White Sox. The least we could do for him was move him up a spot to the top of the charts.
Despite an 11-day stay on the COVID-19-related IL, Stroman has a 1.50 ERA in four May starts covering 24 innings, with 21 strikeouts and five walks. A durable, high-performance starter with two years of club control and an extra dose of COVID immunity? That’s the stuff of October dreams.. His usual big series in Cincinnati last week helped push him up a spot and maybe even into the early conversation for a first All-Star selection.
But the big value point that puts him over Willson Contreras in a close call is the switch-hitter’s extra year of club control with a final winter of arbitration eligibility coming.. The hard contact is still there but the top catcher in the game this year still is working back to full strength and trust in that right hamstring that sidelined him for a few days last week. An almost certain All-Star selection should keep the pending free agent in strong position on the list..
