I'm legitimately happy for all the 2016 guys that are playing well on their new teams. Those on the 2016 team will always be Cubs for life, regardless of how the rest of their careers go.

Two of the prospects we got for Darvish have been mashing this season. Owen Caissie: .373/.543/.667 Reginald Preciado: .361/.434/.500

Fangraphs had the Cubs' trade deadline deals change their farm system rank from 23rd best to 9th best in the majors. A couple more years of being in the basement should get them some good draft picks to make their farm system even better. 2016 had a lot of homegrown talent on it: Bryant, Baez, Contreras, Schwarber, and Almora were all draft picks that came up through the Cubs system. Hendricks, Rondon, Edwards Jr, Russell, and Soler were all signed via trades, the Rule 5 draft, or as unsigned free agents before reaching the majors and they all made their major league debuts as Cubs. Cramming the farm system full of as many prospects as possible was a major component to them winning it all in 2016, so I'm okay with them doing the same strategy to win again, even if it might be a few years before the prospects pan out.
