Cubs Looking at Another Expensive Reliever, Because, You Know, That Makes Sense
As if signing reliever John Grabow to a two year $7 million contract was not enough indignity for a team approaching its budget limitations and with needs in the infield, the outfield, and at the back-end of the rotation, the Chicago Cubs are now interested in signing another big money reliever. Un-freaking-believable: According to Sponichi, [...]
Tuesday is the Arbitration Deadline – Cubs Plan No Offers
Tuesday is the deadline for Major League teams to offer arbitration to their free agents. If the player accepts, he will get a one-year contract at a rate determined by an arbitrator (if necessary), and that rate almost always represents a raise over the prior year’s salary. If the player declines and then signs elsewhere, [...]
Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Yup, It All Depends on Milton
In case there was ever any doubt, the Chicago Cubs’ offseason is being held hostage by Milton Bradley. Until the Cubs figure out what to do with him, they can’t move forward with other plans. This is, of course, because the 2010 payroll is only going to edge up ever so slightly from 2009; so [...]

OMGranderson: Starlin Castro is Absolutely Untouchable
The good news is the Chicago Cubs are finally taking the development of positional prospects very seriously. The bad news is it could prevent the Cubs from getting a player of need. Even though you’ve read suggestions that the Cubs should trade shortstop prospect Starling Castro to the Tigers for outfielder Curtis Granderson, it simply [...]

By Brett on November 30, 2009
The Chicago Cubs want to trade Milton Bradley. The Chicago Cubs want Curtis Granderson. The Detroit Tigers are shopping Curtis Granderson. These are the things that we know, and most other bets are off. But we might know more very soon. The Tigers continue to have trade talks involving Edwin Jackson and Granderson, with both [...]
