3 insane Chicago Cubs trade packages for Shohei Ohtani
The Chicago Cubs would need to give up some prospects for Shohei Ohtani.
Landing Shohei Ohtani would not be an easy task for the Chicago Cubs. They would need to give up a lot of players that they really like. There is a chance that it could be Major League players, Minor League players, or some combination of both.
For this trade, we can pretend that it would just be a haul of prospects. That might be the best option for the Angels as they try to rebuild this thing. They are going to be getting a new owner soon which could change the way that they view the next four or five years on the field.
Brennen Davis is their number two prospect and Kevin Alcantara is their number three guy. Each of them hopes to play in the big leagues soon. Sending them out for Shohei Ohtani would be a smart move by a Cubs team trying to get back into contention.
Jordan Wicks and Cade Horton are the third and fourth pieces of the trade but they are both top-10 Cubs prospects who can help the Angels get out of being the worst-ranked farm in the league. This is a trade that can benefit both of these teams right away.
