'Cutch?

I’ve read a few things that indicate the Cubs may interested in Andrew McCutchen. I don’t know if I believe these reports, and while the fit isn’t perfect, he helps any team. ‘Cutch has been one of my favorite non-Cubs over the last several seasons. What is not to like? He’s still offensively productive, plays a good corner outfield, and, from all reports, is a good teammate.

MLB Trade Rumors suggests a 3 yr/45m contract for ‘Cutch (and have him coming to the North Side).

If this indeed did happen, you would think one of Happ/Almora/Schwarber would have to be traded. Is there a trade out there for one of these three? What would the Cubs demand in return? Does it make sense to trade a young outfielder and sign an older, more expensive outfielder?

Anyone else have an opinion on ‘Cutch or the ensuing trade that would likely occur?
