So this guy thinks the Cubs are going to trade four of their five best prospects to acquire a 34 year old 3B who isn't close to as good as the Cubs cost-controlled 23 year old 3B?

I've found the silliest trade proposal in the history of the internet - GMAW October 20, 2025, 9:42:40

What is Balleateros’ future? DH?* - bjl63 October 20, 2025, 10:42:46
- DH or 1B* - GMAW October 20, 2025, 11:55:58
- Yeah, he has no position. I'm cool with him getting 300-400 abs as DH though.* - Warrin'_Illini October 20, 2025, 11:09:35
  - This Arenado deal is a joke but if Balleateros can net you a more valuable piece - bjl63 October 20, 2025, 11:22:26
didn't some writer propose those exact prospects for a trade deadline pitcher?... - shua October 20, 2025, 10:28:14
- wasn't it Alcantara? - IlliniSax05 October 20, 2025, 10:32:31

needs work on a misleading headline, maybe: Cubs deal for elite infielder in perfect trade offer* - RVA October 20, 2025, 10:51:17

As a Cardinals fan, I would like to say . . . yes please!!* - HoseB October 20, 2025, 10:16:51
Oh my* - OB25 October 20, 2025, 9:55:27
He does seem pretty washed but I wonder if there's some baseball left to squeeze out of him. - Warrin'_Illini October 20, 2025, 9:53:24
- Maybe? Let someone else squeeze it* - GMAW October 20, 2025, 9:54:32
  - Cubs 2008 Jim Edmonds. Dig up his bones, play him at 3rd base!* - Warrin'_Illini October 20, 2025, 10:00:02
    - Get Bill Madlock out there* - TarheelIllini October 20, 2025, 10:15:35
      - The Penguin* - DT October 20, 2025, 10:21:35
    - The end of his season was concerning, but Shaw also put up 3 WAR in 3/4 of a season.* - OB25 October 20, 2025, 10:02:42
      - Yeah, his defense impressed me for sure. But I'm not sure where the Cubs think - Warrin'_Illini October 20, 2025, 10:06:26
        
        The lineup probably is what it is for the most part - OB25 October 20, 2025, 10:29:00
        
        I look forward to them spending no money in free agency and telling fans with a straight face - Gene Parmesan October 20, 2025, 11:23:26
I've seen some really bad speculation about Skubal deals. - Chicago1995 October 20, 2025, 9:47:46
