Rangers strangely enough trade away someone named Ranger: Ranger Suarez 400k, 2023T
Cubs flip: Khalil Watson (chosen 1.6 is this year’s amateur draft) Matt Liberatore MiLB
Cubs rationale: Though hard to lose two top prospects, I am working hard to get a legit team for 2022 also. Cheers to Ben for good banter. We finally got something in place.

I agree with Cubs- Good banter here. It took a while, but we finally struck an accord. I don't like seeing Suarez go, but the opportunity to gain an SP that has the ceiling of an SP2 and the high floor as an innings eater SP combined with a highly touted SS prospect from the 2021 Draft that some feel could move fast was a little too hard to pass up. WEW lose a little in the immediate, but feel the future gains outweigh those short losses. Nice deal Cubs
