Quite a few deals at the GM meetings last week. Also, I'm sure there was plenty of groundwork laid for the upcoming winter meetings, December 7 - 10.
My trade proposal if we don't resign Fowler:
Cubs acquire CF Jake Marisnick and LF Robbie Grossman
Astros acquire RHRP Pedro Strop, OF Matt Szczur and LHRP Zac Rosscup
Astros lose LHRP's Sipp, Perez, Thatcher and RHRP Qualls to free agency. They have Springer, Gomez, Rasmus, and Tucker for their outfield. They get depth for their bullpen.
Cubs get a CF and leadoff hitter in Marisnick and outfield depth in the switch-hitting Grossman. Grimm moves into the set-up role with Neil Ramirez back to full health for middle relief.
My free agent preferences other than resigning Fowler:
1. SP David Price
2. SP Jordan Zimmerman
3. SP John Lackey
All three have playoff experience too.
