"There is perhaps no one trade that makes more sense than the Cubs paying in prospects to acquire Whit Merrifield. He would provide a massive jolt to the offense, fill the second-base hole most days, while satisfying Joe Maddon’s need to manage Team Pretzel on others. I understand why the Royals would hold Merrifield or price him very highly, but the Cubs have every reason to meet that price."
