re: Potential Dodger/Cubs trade discussion: Baez for De Leon+

I don't see the cubs letting Baez go, although his trade value could be at it's peak right now. Baez is very young and has the potential to turn into a Jeter/ Arod type of career. This year will either be boom or bat for him most likely. He mostly likely continues to improve, but could also easily slump.

The cubs have a long history of under performing young pitchers. They either get hurt or the cubs trade them right before they peak. While young pitchers values are very high their risk is also. At least with Baez you got a guy that can play defense for years and possibly offer some back of the order power for years.
