It's noble that the Cubs want to work with Russell and keep him.But not considering trading Schwarber is, IMO, a big mistake.To trade for talent you have to trade talent

They've always believed there's magic in that bat and that he would turn out to be a better hitter than Bryant.
Without knowing the return that is a very naive statmentTrading Schwarber makes them worse.

A trade of Schwarber would all depend on what eh return was. If he isn't given or earn the opportunity to stay in versus top lefties then I think he should be used in a trade that brings someone else of value back. When the Cubs won the Series, Maddon went against his own theory and started Schwarber even though it was versus a good lefty. The Red Sox won the Series this year because they simply put their best 8/9 hitters out there instead "playing the numbers" like the Dodgers did.
I think that development will determine a good bit of if Maddon is brought back for 2020.
I don’t see this glaring need that trading Schwarber fills.
Schwarber is still cheap. So no cap relief.
He didnt put up a season like Baez so you are not going to get a haul.
So no.
If you were concerned then think Rizzo and moving Bryant to 1B and Baez to 3B then take on Trulo to play MI with Russell returning. That kinda makes sense as a return point with getting quality talent in return.
But they are trying to win vs reload. So stupid topic anyways.
Poor Comp Dunn more realistic coming out. Now Dunn with plus D.
If you go into it thinking that he is a .300 hitter you are being stupid. What he is is a .250 hitter because of his strike out rate but he will walk over 10% which pushes his OBA over .350 annually.
What makes him a 40 HR hitter is hitting for power vs lefties and finally figuring the shift. It comes down to that.
Babe Fucking Ruth.

What would be the advantage of announcing he's on the trade block?
Cubs really need a late inning lefty to replace Wilson. They have no one.
If Edwards doesn’t bounce back they have Alozay in AAA. So this is not a need.
