Cubs Weekly Podcast: A trade deadline full of surprises

2 years agoStaff Report

The MLB trade deadline came and went and there was no shortage of surprising moves — by the Cubs and around the league.

Juan Soto and Josh Hader are among the stars switching teams while the Cubs held on to a pair of stars of their own in Willson Contreras and Ian Happ.

Even one of the moves the Cubs did make — trading away young reliever Scott Effross — was surprising, though the trio of veterans shipped out was predictable.
