The team that gets the best player in any deal wins the trade. There is no way the Cubs can trade Kris Bryant for a player as good as Kris Bryant. Trading him is one of the dumbest ideas this traditionally dumb franchise has ever entertained.

I find it odd that Willson played his rookie season with David Ross who threw behind runners his entire career and was always given credit for how smart that was, and when Contreras does it he's "flirting with disaster." And he's every bit as good, if not better, at it.
