are looking for any sort of spark that can get them out of the rut they entered in during the last stages of May that pushed them outside of a playoff spot.for the NL Central lead, they are now 7.5 games out of first place and a half-game back from the third Wild Card spot.
Cody Bellinger was eventually brought back, but there was still some thought that there could have been more improvements made during the winter to ensure this team had the best chance of competing as possible.With Christopher Morel not quite looking like he could handle defensive responsibilities full-time, they were seen as a possible landing spot for elite defender and solid batter Matt Chapman.
