Nick Madrigal is a hell of a get. And Codi had a good year last year and is 24. This was a heck of a return

I'll have to wait to read more about Heuer. Don't know much other than his numbers which aren't great.
Madrigal is a great fit. Does hoerner move to the outfield? I don't see him at SS long term

My favorite teams
looks like many others have already touted it. No need for me to. Just like most the other cubs trades so far

I think the madrigal/heuer for kimbrel deal is as good if not better than Chapman for mckinney and torres plus 2 others. That's how good i think this deal is. Like Torres might have had a higher ceiling but that's the level of deal this is. Madrigal is a really good young player and the cubs have little risk with him because he's already in the majors

I really like the move. Cubs get a contact bat at the top of the lineup and their potential future closer.

Is Heuer a big prospect? Long term does he have potential as a starter or is he purely BP?

He's a bullpen guy. He's more like middle relief to set up than pure closer but he's good young guy to add to the pen

Every team in mlb wanted Kimbrel and we turned it into our 12th second baseman?
Which means one 2B will be asked to pretend he’s a SS.

Does anyone think trading for Madrigal means the Cubs plan to trade Baez and move Hoerner to SS?

The control the Cubs got back is huge as well. You just traded one more year of big money for 5 or 6 years of control on two young major league players. The Cubs philosophy just changed with Madrigal and Heorner on the same team. Thats a lot of contact.
