Obsessive Curtis Granderson Watch: Cubs Are “Absolutely” Interested
Well, it’s that time, friends. You were there when it was Jake Peavy. You were there when it was (OMG) Brian Roberts. You were there for the only successful one of these – the new owner. And you’re still here for Milton Bradley. Yes. It’s another obsessive watch. This time, it’s Detroit Tigers center fielder [...]
Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Exit the Padres?
Last week, San Diego Padres General Manager Kevin Towers said that they had enjoyed having Milton Bradley on their team, and all but said that if he’s traded, they’d be happy to take him back. All of Cubs fandom was aglow with happiness, relief, and delight. And then this weekend, Kevin Towers got the boot [...]
Ok, So This Carlos Zambrano for Jake Peavy Thing Isn’t Serious, Is It?
A couple of weeks ago, there was a (ridiculous) suggestion in the local media that perhaps the Chicago Cubs should explore a trade with the cross-town White Sox, swapping big contract righty Carlos Zambrano for big contract right Jake Peavy. For a number of reasons, the trade makes no sense. But that doesn’t mean there [...]
Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: To the Giants for Aaron Rowand?
Yes, it’s time for another obsessive watch. Harden’s shoulder largely held up this year, the Cubs’ new owner is all but in place, and Jake Peavy ended up on the other side of town. So let’s obsess about something we’ve already obsessed about for months: Milton Bradley. As the Cubs just finished a four-game set [...]
Trade Rumor: Carlos Zambrano for Jake Peavy?
There isn’t a whole lot of meat on this rumor – well, ok, there’s no real meat on it – but MLBTradeRumors is reporting that Baseball Prospectus says some folks in Chicago believe a Jake Peavy for Carlos Zambrano trade could be in the works. It has already been widely reported that the Cubs are [...]
Screeching Tire Sound: Cubs WILL Shop Carlos Zambrano This Winter
When Bruce Levine suggested yesterday that the Chicago Cubs might look to trade ace Carlos Zambrano this winter, most pundits gave it short shrift (including yours truly). After all, without Zambrano (and likely-to-depart Rich Harden), the Cubs rotation could look scary. But now sources say that the Cubs are going to consider trading Zambrano. Despite [...]
Series Preview: Cubs v. Padres, August 17 – August 19, 2009
The Chicago Cubs take on the team formerly known as the San Diego Padres. I guess Jake Peavy probably wouldn’t have been playing at this point anyway. Still, it’s good that he’s gone. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of [...]
Formerly Obsessive Peavywatch: Jake Peavy Traded to Chicago White Sox
OMG Jake Peavy! OMG Chicago! OMG… meh. It’s the White Sox, and the Cubs haven’t really even been remotely interested in half a year. The White Sox have acquired 2007 Cy Young winner Jake Peavy from San Diego in exchange for pitchers Aaron Poreda, Clayton Richard, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter. Peavy, 28, is 6-6 [...]
