2Cubs get two mlb ready prospects and unload two overpaid veterans. Neuse can replace Bryant for the season and the cubs can decide whether he is worth keeping around. Cubs chip in money to pay for veterans/prospects. Arrieta moves to bullpen for Dodgers. Hendricks becomes dodgers fourth or fifth starter.
This isn't your fault (and ultimately probably just affects the cash you built in), but the site's valuation for Hendricks seems way off. He's not subject to the same aging cliff that power pitchers are, and he's owed right around $30 million after this year (counting the buyout of his option year). Given the dearth of competent starting pitching available now and in the winter, it's tough for me to swallow that contract as being of negative value. Again, not your fault. I like the idea of the trade overall, though.
