This weekend in Arizona was extremely ugly for the Chicago Cubs, and extremely tough for Chicago Cubs fans.
Christopher Morel is having a really solid sophomore season, especially when you consider how challenging and atypical his development process was. He’s currently at .246/.311/.496/116 wRC+, and you can sense that there is offensive upside yet untapped.
He is also a really, really good guy. Positive through and through, appreciates his teammates and the fans, and always seems to be wringing as much joy as possible out of the game.
The latest example of that positivity is a little trade action with a fan in Arizona, the kind of thing Morel does on the regular. In exchange for some nachos, a fan got a Christopher Morel bat and a lifetime memory:
That’s a dude right there. Christopher Morel deserves all the love he gets. And I bet those nachos were great.
