Can Byrnes still play CF? Platoon partner I could maybe get on board with, assuming the Cubs absorbed no money of Bradley’s deal, and assuming the Cubs then actually get Granderson.

They'd just release Byrnes, themselves. If it were that simple, then the D-Backs wouldn’t want to do that deal. They’d just release Byrnes, themselves.

Then release him. Or trade for a player to be named later if anyone takes him. But it would be cheaper to just release him than it would Milton.

This would free up some financial responsibility for 2011. 2. The Cubs could probably squeeze a decent prospect out of the swap as well. The Cubs would basically have a very expensive and slightly less productive Reed Johnson. In fact, he wouldn't be a bad platoon partner to pair with Granderson if the Cubs somehow swing a deal for him. It would just be the most expensive platoon ever in terms of production per dollar.
