MLB: Absurd Chicago Cubs-Los Angeles Dodgers trade proposal sends Nico Hoerner to Los Angeles Dodgers for low-ball return
Ever since the Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman to a five-year $175 million contract, many MLB analysts have begun to wonder if Nico Hoerner has become expendable. Because he is entering the final year of contract with the Cubs, many believe that Chicago could try to move the two-time Gold Glove second baseman to replenish their farm system.
After all, the Cubs gave up their top prospect, Owen Caissie, in the trade that brought Edward Cabrera to the Cubs. In order to continue to remain competitive, the Cubs need to get some top talent in their minor league system somehow.
But the latest trade proposal involving Hoerner does not do that.
Trade proposal that sends Nico Hoerner from the Chicago Cubs to Los Angeles Dodgers provides poor return
In a recent article of trade proposals involving 10 of the most desirable trade targets in MLB, Bleacher Report‘s Kerry Miller suggested that the Cubs send Hoerner to the Los Angeles Dodgers for minor league outfielder Mike Sirota:
“It’s probably a bit of an overpay by the Dodgers—but what isn’t? And if they can get a year of Hoerner without giving up any of their top three outfield prospects, they probably leap at the opportunity. They traded Gavin Lux for Sirota last January and just might move him again.”
What is also absolutely wild about this proposal is that Miller considers an overpay by the Dodgers!
As mentioned, Hoerner is a two-time Gold Glove winner and is coming off of a season in which he hit .297/.345/.394 with seven home runs, 61 RBI, and 29 stolen bases.
Sirota is the 64th-best prospect in baseball and is Los Angeles’ fifth-overall prospect. However, he has not played above high-A ball and is years away from the Majors.
If the Cubs are going to deal Hoerner, they have to demand more than just one prospect in return, even if that prospect is one of Sirota’s caliber.
Last year, split between low-A and high-A, Sirota hit .333/.452/.616 with 13 home runs and 54 RBI.
