I wonder if the Cubs could do a multi-player trade for Andrelton
Simmons. Weird is he will be available as the Angels look to
shake things up. Would a package of Schwarber, Russell and
Montgomery be too much or not enough?

Why would the angels trade him? he single handedly fixed their
infield defense issues.

One of my best friends at my old job is a huge Angels fan and
very knowledgeable, and he's convinced they love Simmons to
death. He's a building block, not a trade chip.

Makes sense they would keep him. I wonder why there is so much
speculation that they would move him? Just internet smoke I
guess.

I wonder if they’ll try and bring Hinskie back from the Angels.

Teams love firing hitting and pitching coaches. Cheap, and
makes a lot of noise.

Davis was the front office’s hand-picked guy, though. Getting
rid of him reflects pretty poorly on them. Front offices aren’t
always willing to admit those mistakes.
Other tweets are now saying that feedback from the players on
exit interviews was bad and that was a major part of the
decision.
In any case, that’s the easy move of the three they need to make
this offseason. Still need a top of the lineup type and one of
the big two free agents.

One element that’s intriguing in all this is, how could the Cubs
screw up this badly with Davis? Did Maddon push hard to get
Mallee fired and Davis hired, as some have reported? If so this
is another indication that things between he and the front
office are continuing to sour.
