July 31 is the deadline for major league baseball teams to trade players to other teams for one of their players or a future phenom in the minor league system. The Cubs franchise has said it has given up on the current season and is looking to 2025 when it makes trades by this Wednesday.
I wonder how it makes the current players feel. Are they disappointed that management is considering 2024 a loss and is planning ahead? Does this make them feel devalued? Or are they relieved that they can now play for the fun of the game.
And given the game is baseball, sometimes the fun of it makes for remarkable results.
