Episode Description from the Publisher

In a post-trade deadline edition of the Cubs Talk podcast, Leila Rahimi and James Neveau break down all the moves the Cubs made in the leadup to deadline. Isaac Paredes arrives on the North Side of Chicago, but is the upgrade worth the cost the Cubs gave up in losing Christopher Morel? And do Paredes' statistics paint a stark picture of what he can achieve in Wrigleyville? Later, the duo discusses Mark Leiter Jr. and whether the Cubs made the right choice in acquiring a pair of prospects from the Yankees. Finally, did the Cubs err in not trading Jameson Taillon or Hector Neris? Leila and James evaluate that decision as Jed Hoyer's regime moves forward from the deadline.
