Series Preview: Cubs v. White Sox, June 25 – June 27, 2010

He hurt it this weekend against the Angels, resulting in an early removal from the game. The hope was the early exit and [...]
Chicago Cubs “Extremely Active” in Trying to Trade Kosuke Fukudome
We already knew that the Chicago Cubs had talked to the Boston Red Sox about outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, but it seems that was just the tip of the iceberg. According to Dave Kaplan: Several baseball sources have confirmed to me that the Chicago Cubs have been extremely active in trying to move Kosuke Fukudome to open [...]
