And, again, the one thing you look at here is this trade.

But what it does tell you also is that the Cubs are down two outfielders

rather than one.

Does this allow them to get back into the conversation, bringing back either Tucker or Cody Bellinger to play right field?

Because you're now considering Suzuki as your primary number one outfielder alone, unless you're considering Alcantara, the young kid, as part of it, and I don't think they do.

So does this allow the Cubs to get back into the Bellinger conversation?

Or if Tucker...

is not getting the seven, eight years that was projected out there.

Does that allow the Cubs to get back into a three- or four-year deal with opt-outs in case Tucker's not getting the money that he wants elsewhere?

Right.

But, you know, again, maybe Bellinger is waiting for Tucker to sign, vice versa.

I mean, they're

Similar players, some people feel Tucker's going to get more, but Bellinger's coming off of an awesome year with the New York Yankees, proving if you can do it in New York, you can do it anywhere, right?

So that was a huge year that he had for the Yankees.

They want him back.

It just depends what type of contract him and Scott Boris want.

Is it a five-, six-, seven-year deal?

Are the Cubs interested in bringing back

Bellinger certainly, they traded him once, they signed him once, they traded him once.

I think they'd be open to bringing him back again.
