Here’s What the Cubs Should Do Instead of Trading Nico Hoerner

Hey, Jeff Passan, the Cubs aren’t going to trade Nico Hoerner. Stop it. No but really, please stop suggesting the thought that the Cubs will be dangling Hoerner on the trade market now that the team stunned everyone and out-bid the Red Sox for Alex Bregman.

The most trusted MLB insider stoked the flames on ESPN as Passan wrote this past weekend that the Cubs would consider trading either Hoerner or Matt Shaw after giving Bregman a five-year, $175 million contract that includes a no-trade clause.
