Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot Have Been Traded to the Dodgers
Per multiple reports, the Chicago Cubs have traded pitcher Ted Lilly and second baseman Ryan Theriot to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Part of the return is expected to be second baseman Blake DeWitt, but no word yet on dollars and the rest of the return. We’ll keep you posted. UPDATE: Looks like the Cubs are [...]
Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot Are Almost Gone
Multiple reports indicate that the Chicago Cubs are close to sending Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt and prospect(s). It looks like it’s going to happen sooner or later (well, I guess sooner, given that there are but a few hours left before the deadline). We’ll keep you updated, and [...]
Theriot May Be Key to Lilly Trade
It sounds like the Dodgers are reluctant to trade for Ted Lilly (or at least are reluctant to pay any of his salary) unless Ryan Theriot is in the deal. Why they have such a hard on for Theriot is unclear to anyone who has, you know, watched him play. The ball appears to be [...]

Zambrano recently said he’d waive his no-trade clause if the Cubs really want to get rid of him, but obviously they aren’t desperate. Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo have [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Ryan Theriot Believes He’ll Be Traded Today
Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryan Theriot told his friends yesterday that he expected to be traded by the Cubs today, according to Gordon Wittenmyer. Theriot, who is making $2.6 million this year, is under team control through 2011, but given his salary and lack of correlative performance, he’s a non-tender candidate. Don’t expect the Cubs to [...]

Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: Trade Deadline Day Morning Update
Sorry to be the one to tell you, as you’re waking up this Saturday morning, but the Chicago Cubs have yet to make a move. Ted Lilly, Ryan Theriot, Xavier Nady et al are still Cubs. That is, of course, not in and of itself a bad thing – but if there are deals to [...]
