Madrigal and Freeman are the same player, so no on him... Hernandez isn't a bad idea, but they already have a ton of MIF talent, so for Bieber, I'd say no... Morel I like, so he can work for me... Killian isn't living up to his 60 graded control, but I am not against him... I think Cleveland would counter, Morel, Horton/Wicks, Ferris, Amaya, type of deal...

Amaya I feel would be off the table. Catching depth isn’t that great after Amaya in the upper levels of the system. If there’s one thing the cubs have a lot of it’s outfielders and shortstops so I feel like Morel and Hernandez would be the big two. Can’t see the cubs trading Horton/Wicks/Ferris but I’ve been wrong before. Also it’s really only a year and a half of control of Bieber if the trade happened now.
Cleveland doesn't want Hernandez though... Remember Cleveland plans on getting a playoff spot, they will want a deal like I said or pretty much keep Bieber. They are only a couple games back and both rosters have similar numbers stats wise outside of Twins having the HR power. IF Cleveland finds that two hole bat, they will be even with Twins on paper. Also going by the Clevinger and Bauer deals, they want two SP prospects, an MLB bat and likely another position player and they badly need a guy to play with Naylor... With a guy like Fry on the bench, Naylor can DH next season a fair amount (as long as Bell is off the roster) and Lavastida seems to have flopped as a catcher (at least right now), so they would like his long term partner like they had with Gomes/Perez... Madrigal and Hernandez are both likely a no from Cleveland... Killian plus Wicks/Ferris could work. Amaya is almost a must though from Cleveland's perspective...
