If the Chicago Cubs decide to sell ahead of the MLB trade deadline, these three players could be shipped out.
What doesn't seem like very long ago, the Cubs were a team that many thought could become legitimate contenders in the National League with a trade or two ahead of the deadline next month.Jed Hoyer will have to make a decision over the next month. Does he think this version of the team can improve within itself? Would a couple of trade additions turn them into a contender?
However, if the Cubs opt to sell talent, there are three players that would make sense as trade options.First up on the list is outfielder Ian Happ, who has never played for another franchise. He has played all eight of his MLB years so far with Chicago. There are quite a few teams around the league that could use outfield help. Happ would be a very popular trade target if he become available.Teams could pursue Drew Smyly as either a starting pitcher or a bullpen arm. He's capable of doing both and he has done both during his time with the Cubs.
