Jamie Garcia to the Yankees for a couple of pitching prospects.  He could be flipped to Oakland for Sonny Gray.

So, the cubs gave up their top prospect and more for Avila and Wilson smh

So, the cubs gave up their top prospect and more for Avila and Wilson smh

The Cubs top prospect at this point isn't even a top 100, maybe not even a top 150 guy, so really, it's a very good trade for them.  Wilson for now and next year.

Indians are pushing hard for Britton
 

 
9:46am: MLB Network’s Ken Rosenthal reports that the Dodgers and Astros also remain in the mix for Britton (Twitter links). One executive from an interested team tells Rosenthal that it’s “still unclear” if the Orioles will actually part ways with their closer.
 
9:42am: The Indians are “pushing hard” in a bid to acquire left-hander Zach Brittonfrom the Orioles, reports Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer (on Twitter). Cleveland was tied to righty Addison Reed earlier this morning, but the Mets’ closer now looks to be off the board as he’s reportedly headed to the Red Sox.
 
Britton, 29, entered the season on the short list of baseball’s very best relievers, but he’s missed significant time with a forearm injury in 2017 and has seen his K/BB numbers trend in the wrong direction when healthy. He’s also pitched on back-to-back days just once since being activated from the disabled list and is earning a steep $11.4MM this year.
 
That said, Britton is controllable via arbitration this offseason, and if he does indeed round back into top form, he’d give Cleveland an unparalleled combination of bullpen weapons, pairing with fellow lefty Andrew Miller and right-hander Cody Allen. When at his best, Britton uses a mid-90s sinker to generate grounders at a historic rate and boasts elite strikeout and walk rates. It’s been debated for a few weeks now whether the Orioles would ultimately be open to parting with Britton and whether any team would risk parting with the elite prospects necessary to acquire him in light of this season’s red flags.

Agreed. He is a decent player but a guy who can play 1B/3B is next to useless to the Cubs barring injury. Rizzo/Bryant look to have those positions on lockdown for the next decade
