## Resource

The Cubs are in a bind, desperate to fix their shaky pitching while staying true to their “win-now” mission — and Emerson Hancock of the Mariners is the name on everyone’s lips. With a stellar ERA and years of team control, Hancock is prime trade bait… but the Mariners are asking for premium return: potentially Suzuki and Shaw. Losing Suzuki would gut their offense, and trading Shaw could leave a gaping hole in the outfield. While the Mariners have leverage, handing over both stars would be a risky gamble for Chicago — especially since they’re more likely to strike a deal centered around Shaw and prospects, not full-fledged stars. The Cubs need help, but not at the cost of their core. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
