Why Cubs' .942 OPS infield prospect is their as most 'logical' trade chip
xCruzo Brief
The Cubs’ .942 OPS infield prospect Pedro Ramirez is being highlighted as Chicago’s most “logical” trade chip as the team seeks pitching help this season. The club has already added David Peterson from the New York Mets, but injuries and underperformance have left its rotation and bullpen needing more depth. Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter argues Ramirez is the most plausible candidate because he has no clear path to regular playing time on a crowded roster. The 22-year-old switch-hitter has debuted in MLB, posting a .755 OPS in 19 games this season. While not the organization’s top prospect—along with names like Jefferson Rojas and Jaxon Wiggins—Ramirez’s roster fit makes him a potential centerpiece in a July pitching deal.
