With Schwarber down, I think this guy could be a great target for the Cubs; though, I doubt it will ever happen given that its in the division. You can trade Montero's contract and probably give them prospects to make this deal happen. I know they have Willson Contreras in the system, but he might still be a few years away. By that time Lucroy's contract is up and you can make a decision.

Now you can make fun of me because Phil Rogers was thinking this too:

Cubs
Current situation at catcher: Miguel Montero and David Ross return from last year's 97-win team. Ditto Kyle Schwarber, who enters his first regular season as the top left fielder, but has been developed as a catcher.

Deal that could land Lucroy: Three-team trade in which the Brewers add center fielder Albert Almora (Cubs), third baseman Jeimer Candelario (Cubs), catcher Justin O'Conner (Rays) and right-hander Jacob Faria (Rays); Rays add Montero and cash, outfielder Billy McKinney (Cubs) and first baseman-DH Dan Vogelbach (Cubs), and Cubs add Lucroy and Guerrieri (Rays).

The Cubs having been eyeing Lucroy throughout the Hot Stove season, hoping the Brewers would make him available. He would be a better fit for the next two years than Montero, who, like Schwarber, hits left-handed. But Montero is signed for two more years at $28 million total and he has no appeal for Milwaukee. So Chicago must involve another ambitious team.

Would the Rays want his pop at the Trop if the Cubs were sending along $18.5 million, the difference in salaries between Lucroy and Montero? Why wouldn't the Cubs do that if they value the right-handed-hitting Lucroy more than Montero?

If not the Rays, the Cubs must bring another third team into the talks. This is a complicated process, but it would make it easier for Joe Maddon to play Javier Baez and provide a nice window to assess Schwarber's future behind the plate. Both Tampa Bay and Chicago are loaded with young talent, so there are many ways to make a three-team Brewers-Cubs-Rays deal work.

If not in the divsion, yes, would feel much better about it, as the Brewers want to be the Cubs and what they did, so getting some of those players is in their plans.
