The Cubs most likely have said goodbye to Kerry Wood. On Thursday, the team traded Minor League pitcher Jose Ceda to the Florida Marlins for reliever Kevin...
Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who batted .337 with four home runs, won his second Silver Slugger Award on Thursday. Zambrano, who also won the award in 2006,...
Hmmm...... Interesting post by someone on the Tribune blog: "I think Gregg will be traded perhaps part of the Peavy deal." ________________________________ ...
I'm really torn by this move. I'm not sure that Gregg is an answer at closer. I guess we'll find out if they consider him the first option or if they really...
Gregg might be considered a horse by some. I did a little research and CBSsportsline ranks Gregg outside the top 20 relief pitchers. Wood was tenth overall....
Gregg is younger by a year and is less of a injury risk, however for someone who throws fairly hard is not a huge strikeout guy, and he walks more than Woody....
Nat, I can't argue the age or injury aspect. I guess I could see Gregg in a setup role since he seems to do well as long as no one is on base. The Cubs have ...
Trying to put the pieces of this puzzle together here.... 1) Cubs let Wood walk 2) Cubs don't cave in to Dempster, although he wants to stay with them 3)...
It's business. Gotta take the emotions out of it. As hard as it is to see Wood go, it gives Hendry more flexibility to maneuver. I think we all held our breath...
According to MLB Trade Rumors.com, now this is a bit more suspect that the Cubs passed on Wood: Kerry Wood Comments By Tim Dierkes [November 14 at 3:52pm CST] ...
Nat, I think that the Braves backing away is great news if it is true. Like you said there is a lot of posturing and misinformation during this period as well....
Pitcher Ryan Dempster and the Chicago Cubs agreed Tuesday on a four- year contract worth about $52 million. Dempster was 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA for the Cubs last...
Do we really want to put our hope into just a different guy who is questionable in right field??? I would rather see more pitching than this deal. Maybe I...
I agree with you Geo. This deal does not excite me, as a matter of fact I would probably rather have Ibanez but I truly do not know that much about Teahan....
Teahen's claim to fame was from the book "Money Ball". He's a good player, but I don't think he's the answer. I'd hate to see the Cubs burn Pie or a sparkplug...
I agree- but it does not seem like that is anywhere near a priority for them. And with the salary limitations they are saying they have, it does not look like...
From what I read the Cubs like DeJesus, but they would settle for Teahan if they can't get DeJesus. I don't see Teahan as an improvement. I always lean back on...
Well the Trib online is saying that maybe by getting a lower priced guy like Teahen, it give them flexibility in 2 areas. #1- if Fukudome returns to form,...
hey guys..wow what a relief to hear about dempster!! and was truly sorry to lose kerry..he'll always be a cub, just like mark grace..anyway, i have to put my 2...
i know pinella was talking about moving fuku to center.. ________________________________ From: E. George Mucher III <fishydude@...> To: *Yahoo Diehard...
just a couple more comments and then i'll shut up..i think it would be a shame to lose ronny cedeno..and now that we don't have henry blanco anymore, we need a...
According to sources with MLB, final bids to purchase the Chicago Cubs must be submitted no later than December 1st. I'm wondering if this means the sale of...
The Tribune online is saying the same thing- that bids must be in by Dec 1. Another thing I read was that Cuban wasn't the highest bid anyway, but I am really...
Just read on a Royals blog about a potential DeJesus for Fontenot & Marshall deal. Royals need a 2nd baseman and lefty starter. If so, would some kind of deal...
Your right he mentioned moving him to center as a possibility. The Royals got Coco Crisp as well to fill their centerfield position. In exchange the Red Sox...
I spoke with a friend and he said he read in the New York Times the Cuban offer was a solid 1.3 billion for the team and Wrigley Field. I don't know where they...
