First, I've from the beginning said it would be foolish to trade Harper now and explained why. However, hypothetically, I already made my point with the fact the Cubs traded the #27 prospect at the time, Gleyber Torres, for 2 months of Chapman. 2 months of a closer versus a full year of a MVP-caliber everyday player. Hmmm...yea I'd say there's a very good change to get a top-25 prospect minimum for Harper if for some reason they wanted to deal him.
