Jesse Rogers: Can Cubs Make Blockbuster Trade Deadline Move?!

Should the Chicago Cubs make a major move at the MLB trade deadline or protect their future? On this episode of Inside the Friendly Confines, ESPN’s Jesse Rogers explains why he does not believe this is the year for the Cubs to go all-in. Jesse discusses why a blockbuster trade for Tarik Skubal may be unrealistic, whether the Cubs should avoid dealing top prospects and why the organization needs to be more certain about its championship chances before making an aggressive move. Jesse also breaks down several potential pitching targets, including San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray, Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman and other names who could fit the Cubs’ deadline plans. Plus, hear Craig Counsell’s comments on Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Conforto as the Cubs continue their push through the second half of the season.
