5 Dominoes if the Cubs Sign Alex Gordon

Third domino, Carlos Carrasco

The Cubs were high on Carlos Carrasco at the trade deadline, some baseball insiders even thought the Cubs and Indians had a deal in place before the deadline. Turned out Cleveland wanted too much (Soler perhaps) and the Cubs were not open to deal him, or other bigger names, at that time.

Carrasco is a very good young pitcher, who just completed his first full season as a starter. Playing in parts of six seasons in the big leagues, Carlos is under contract until the 2019 season at a modest $5.5 M per season. He immediately fits into the Cubs youth movement, and would be here for several more years.
