The Chicago Cubs open a four-game weekend series against the New York Mets on Thursday night and there is a strong chance that the two teams will come together on a trade for the second time in as many seasons.
Last season, the Cubs fleeced the Mets when they landed top outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong for shortstop Javier Baez and veteran starting pitcher Trevor Williams. Baez is no longer with the Mets and Crow-Armstrong has emerged as arguably the Cubs’ top prospect this season.
