When I was pitching ideas for this series to Al I was torn on the second day. I had an idea that was positive and one that was negative. I laughed and said it would depend on my mood.
Well, after yesterday’s absolute disaster of a trade (you can read my full thoughts here) I almost considered renaming the entire series The 12 Days of Grinchmas. It’s going to be a long winter folks, so let’s face it head on and talk about what led the Cubs to non-tender two of their best prospects and former first round draft picks: Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora Jr.

We’re back with the 12 Days of Cubsmas and I can already see someone firing up in the replies that this should have started on Christmas Day and then gone 12 days. While that is technically correct I sort of figured most of you weren’t hanging out on BCB clicking refresh every five minutes on Christmas waiting for this year’s Days of Cubsmas. Besides, it’s Cubsmas, not Christmas. Like all things in 2020, it’s just going to be a little different.
