Trade rumor via MoccBomb… https://x.com/moccbomb/status/1949472208683741550
lol, Grok says it would be an overpay by the Cubbies. https://x.com/grok/status/1949496331762061560
Personally, I think Caissie should be valued closer to 25 and a Hernandez around 5-10. MLB Pipeline (not used by BBTV) has Caissie at #37 overall in MLB and he’s on a tear.

He's up to 15.3 in our model, but there's a ceiling due to the high K% -- similar to Spencer Jones. History is very clear on this -- guys who strike out this much usually do not succeed in the majors.
Definitely some risk with Caissie’s swing and miss rate. It’ll be interesting to see how the industry views him should he be traded in the next couple of days.
