No front office gets every player evaluation right, but the same things that were said about Eloy Jimenez were said about Jorge Soler; to think that that caliber of player fetched only a closer (albeit an all-star closer) for only one year was a little bit disappointing for Cubs fans even if Soler hadn’t proven his worth at the major league level prior to the 2017 season. To answer your followup question, yes I know this answer sounds insufferable, but that is apparently a symptom of winning the World Series.

Meet you at Midway later today.
