If the Chicago Cubs pull off this trade, the catcher position will no longer be a weakness.
While the team continues to struggle, they still remain within striking distance of the Wild Card race. The talent is there for the team to compete, but it isn't producing to its potential.
Assuming they are buyers, there are a few different things that need to be addressed. One of the biggest issues comes at the catcher position. He has slashed .303/.352/.439 so far this season in 55 games to go along with five home runs and 28 RBI. Only having to give up Murray and McCullough would make this trade a no-brainer. Neither player is close to MLB ready. Being able to keep all of their top prospects for another deal or the future and getting Diaz would be a big win for the Cubs if they're looking to compete now.
