Send down Michael Taylor, Bring up Justin Morneau start him at first.
Send down Justin Miller bring up JA Happ and put him in the bullpen as a long relief man.
Make Grilli the closer and Mora the setup man.
Change Sean Rod's position to SS in case the game wants to be silly and say I don't have a backup middle infielder.

I must decline, sorry. I already am looking to clear out RP, not add more, and I have no backup 1B

@yazzy14 Mariners Yunel Escobar for your Mike Moustakas? (Escobar's primary position is SS)
---

@Emeraldegg

If I was playing it straight up I would take the trade, but I have to pass.
Escobar would not fit in on my team. <_<

Maybe I'm missing something, but how so? You are the cubs right? Your starting SS is a 74, escobar would be an 82, so that's a hole filled and a bench spot cleared.

Unless there was some funky strat you had where like, only such and such players or something

done except for SeanRod to SS because that is outside the rules of this league. If I start switching players positions all hell will break loose. He has SS as alt pos so it'll be fine.
