More about Morgan soon, and about the return as it comes. It will be a prospect you miss given the potential value here.

As for Wisdom, I wrote earlier today that his time with the Cubs was likely over, and the Cubs now have seven days to trade, waive or release him. But as the non-tender deadline approaches on Friday, a solution will be found one way or another.

UPDATE: OK, a little more on Morgan, who figures to be one of the “steady, solid, expectedly good” relievers the Cubs expected to add this offseason. It comes via trade and not by choice, but the philosophy is the same.

Morgan is 28 and has now been pretty good for the Guardians for three years in a row after being converted from starter:

As you can see, he’s more of a lower-speed contact manager than a true power forward, but we know the Cubs have had a lot of success with those guys. He doesn’t walk guys, gets near league average strikeouts and doesn’t give up hard contact. His 2.5% barrel rate is likely to decline this year, and you’d say the same about his .222 BABIP (and thus his sub-2 ERA). You’ll notice this happened in a smaller sample size this year: Morgan missed time early in the year with an elbow problem.

Still, one would conservatively expect past performance to predict future performance at this stage of Eli Morgan’s career, so an ERA in the mid-to-low 3s would, even assuming no improvement in a new organization, be a reasonable be a projection. Very valuable.

Morgan will get three years of team control and is expected to earn about $1 million in arbitration this year. He also has a minor league option year left, which you honestly hope you don’t have to use if you pay in trade to acquire a guy like that, but it’s extra flexibility just in case.

He’s working with an elite changer (13th most valuable in baseball in recent years, Michael says). It looks funny in the zone:
