Crazy impossible three way trade that will never happen
Cubs get: Jackie Bradley
Marlins get: Addison Russell, Michael Chavis and Rusney Castillo
Red Sox get: Giancarlo Stanton, Edinson Vazquez and Martin Prado
Marlins free tons of money, even with taking back Castillo, whose Cuban heritage is a plus for them. (As is his defense.) They also get 3 arbitration years of a very good tshortstop. And a good 3b prospect.
Cubs fill the biggest hole in their lineup with a guy their FO drafted and do so without dropping $70-80 mill on Lorenzo Cain.
Sox get a new LF, SP, and Prado, who is otherwise immovable to the Marlins. A lot of money, although Volquez has only one year left. Prado really can't play 2b anymore and might end up platooning at first with either an internal candidate (Swihart? ) or a cheap external one (non-tender candidate CJ Cron?)
I might be too far outside the box here. Where's that box again?
