Also watch the Mesa Solar Sox, as they’re the Cubs affiliate. The Nats will be monitoring the PTBNL in the Murphy deal through the AFL, so there’s a good chance that one of these four will be coming to DC:
Nico Hoerner, SS/2B
Trent Giambrone, SS/2B
DJ Wilson, CF
P.J. Higgins, C
More details on these four:

The catcher seems to profile as a backup, and Hoerner was the Cubs first round pick in 2018 so I’d be surprised if they move him. So that leaves Giambrone (think of a righty Difo with higher potential for power that hasn’t been actually realized yet) and Wilson (injury prone CF who has solid defense but needs to develop his offense).
saliva is flowing, but maybe that is due to the slices I just ate at we the pizza.
