The Chicago Cubs have undergone a significant teardown of their core roster, trading away notable players like Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez, among others, with mixed results. While some promising prospects like Owen Caissie and Kevin Alcantara are emerging from these trades, many acquired players have already left the organization. The standout from the trades has been Pete Crow-Armstrong, acquired in the Baez deal, who showcases excellent defense and speed. The Cubs may now explore locking him up early, following a trend seen with other young talents across the league.
The Cubs' teardown of their last core has offered little major league production, though promising prospects from trades are emerging.
The trade that sent Baez to the Mets for Pete Crow-Armstrong is an exception, marking a positive for the Cubs' future.
Crow-Armstrong's premium defense and speed suggest a bright future, leading Cubs fans to hope for an early long-term deal.
Despite a low batting average, Crow-Armstrong's defensive and baserunning abilities resulted in high fWAR, showcasing his value.
