The idea was hiring Craig Counsell would be able to elevate this roster into becoming a playoff team again. With the additions they made in free agency, many people viewed the Cubs as favorites to win the NL Central.Chicago entered Sunday with a 39-45 record, and with their loss, they are now 11.5 games out of first place in their division and five behind the final Wild Card spot.
But, if it's clear they won't make the playoffs, then they have to do what's best for the organization.In exchange for the reigning NL Comeback Player of the Year, the Cubs would get infielder Bryan Rincon and outfielder Simon Muzziotti, both Top 30 prospects in the Phillies' system. His traits as a defensive shortstop has allowed him to climb up the farm system quickly, getting him to High Single-A in his second full professional season at 20 years old.
