The Cubs are reported to be in on Bieber, including Morgan in the deal gives Chicago another bullpen arm, a big need for them. I debated including Karinchak instead of Burns but figured the Guards wouldn't give up both Morgan and Karinchak. Morel is a right-handed power-hitting bat that would play outfield in Cleveland but can play all over the diamond, I think he'd fit nicely in Vogt's lineup. Smyly is included to provide Cleveland a replacement starter for Bieber, but mainly to balance out the sides. Thoughts?
I could live with this! Cleveland needs Morel badly, so I would take it...
I agree whole heartedly, but I saw something on Twitter in the past few days that showed Morel's numbers compared with Franmil's numbers before he went off the deep-end and they're eerily similar. Kinda gave me a scare lol. Players like them don't typically perform well here, but hopefully if they get Morel, it'd be a different story!
