Ian Happ Likely To Be On The Move Before Deadline
2 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ has become one of the hotter names on the trade market, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The San Diego Padres are one team that Passan mentioned as a potential landing spot for Happ. Clubs have been attempting to pair either Happ or his teammate Willson Contreras with a Cubs reliever like David Robertson or Mychal Givens in a deal. Wherever Happ winds up going, he'll likely get a better supporting lineup alongside him, but there's also a chance he could lose out on playing time a bit with a new team -- something that hasn't been a problem with the Cubs. Happ has appeared in 95 games this year and he's slashed .282/.366/.446 with nine home runs, six stolen bases, 46 RBI and 44 runs.
