Cubs will try to trade Murton

Define "little".

The Cubs would love to get Murton into a situation where he can play everyday in the majors, but they're not trying to give him away.

We can give you Trachsel again.

It will be interesting to see what the Cubs will get for him.

Would you do Edwin Jackson for Murton?

What would the Cubs do with Edwin Jackson? Whose spot would he take?

[GeorgiaBird]

Fair enough. I am just curious of value, not really suggesting a trade.

From Foxsports, Ken Rosenthal:

Scouts describe Murton as a "tweener" — an outfielder who lacks the defensive skill to play center and the power necessary for a corner.

Well Murton ended up being optioned to Iowa this afternoon.

I think the cubs killed all of his value. Was it them or the sports media that had him being given to any team with trade possibilities? I don't know, but he is an add on piece now if anything with not much value right now.

Well, maybe but not really. Big Poppy is the perfect DH IMO.
