While Freeman is a superior talent, Cubs are retooling a bit. I had an excess of relief arms so Joe Smith drew the short straw. Garlick appears to be a AAAA player, and I am trying to get younger on the farm.
This deal really helps add depth into the Cubs system. I'm excited to add a MLB ready talent in Martinez. I am also excited to add Josh Naylor who I believe is an under the radar player. You can never have enough arms so adding Peterson, Sborz, and Pint follows that philosophy. Braves to confirm.
