Episode Notes
Do the Cubs have enough top prospects in their farm system to make a blockbuster deal this summer? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney are back with another primer on the trade deadline, bringing you the names to know and explaining the concepts that guide Chicago’s front office. Does Kevin Alcántara have a future at Wrigley Field? Could Pedro Ramírez be a keeper? And are Matt Shaw and Moisés Ballesteros untouchable parts of the major-league roster? It’s still early in the season, but these are relevant questions as the Cubs think about ways to fortify a World Series contender.
