This is not a panic move. Its a deal that helps them now and in the future as Quintana is under their control until 2020 with 8, 10, and 11 million dollar yearly options. And the Cubs still have young talent to make other moves. Happ, Candelaro, Schwarber, Almora, and Baez. They could move all five of those guys and still have a great core of young guys in the majors.
Cubs got better.
If they can turn around their pitching in the 2nd half, I think they easily win the division. Plus their bullpen is better with Montgomery back in it.
