The MLB trade deadline is right around the corner, and rumors are buzzing loudly with each passing day. It sounds like the Chicago Cubs might be a team to keep an eye on\u00a0as there is speculation that the front office could trade one of its top prospects. Insider Jon Morosi shares more details on how a deal could come to fruition.<\/p>\n

During a guest appearance on \u201c670 The Score,\u201d Morosi claims that if he were in charge of the Cubs, he would not trade top prospect Owen Caissie for a one-year rental type of player. Instead, he believes Chicago should only deal the 23-year-old outfielder if the club receives a significant upgrade or addresses multiple needs on the roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would not trade Owen Caissie for one rental player,\u201d said Jon Morosi; \u201cI would not trade Owen Caissie for Zac Gallen straight up\u2026 I think that Caissie’s got too much value, and you still don’t have [Kyle] Tucker signed long term\u2026 But if the [Arizona Diamondbacks] come at you and say, \u2018I will give you Gallen and [Eugenio] Suarez, or Gallen and one more reliever’\u2026 If you can do that, then I’m in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fact that Tucker is not signed long term puts the Cubs in a real dilemma when it comes to the outfield. So it makes sense why Morosi wouldn’t want to see Chicago trade away Caissie, as there is a chance he is the immediate replacement for the 28-year-old outfielder.<\/p>\n

But with the Cubs in first place in the NL Central, rumors will likely continue swirling around the organization until the trade deadline. Especially considering the franchise is in a prime position to make a serious playoff push and potentially go on a deep run.<\/p>\n

The trade deadline is set for July 31 at 6 p.m. EST. So the Cubs, along with the rest of the league, still have some time to figure out potential deals.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
