He was the face of the Cubs during the most successful run in more than a century, and even if it makes some business sense to move on from him it doesn’t make it any easier for the fans. Kyle and Andy discuss the Cubs trade of Anthony Rizzo to the Yankees, whether it’s in effect a third of a season loan or if he’s really gone, how bad it is that one of the prospects in the deal from the Yankees is immediately the Cubs second-best prospect, and what the future holds as we careen towards the deadline with Kris Bryant and Craig Kimbrel yet to be dealt.
