Why Didn’t You Bid on Sammy Sosa’s Corked Bat?

Why Didn’t You Bid on Sammy Sosa’s Corked Bat?

By Brett on November 2, 2010

Apparently few were interested in acquiring a piece of Chicago Cubs infamy. The barrel of Sammy Sosa’s broken corked bat failed to sell at auction this weekend when it didn’t meet its suspected modest reserve price of $15,000. Former Cubs pitcher Mike Remlinger, who owns the controversial bat, had a secret reserve auction price in [...]

Get Ready to Puke: Ryne Sandberg Could Join the White Sox

Get Ready to Puke: Ryne Sandberg Could Join the White Sox

By Brett on October 27, 2010

As I’ve said repeatedly, when Ryne Sandberg was passed over for the managerial job, his fate with the Chicago Cubs organization was sealed – that is to say, he wasn’t going to join Mike Quade’s staff. Now, Bruce Levine is reporting that, indeed, Sandberg will not be asked to join Quade’s staff. No real surprise there, [...]

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Ozzie Guillen on the List?

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Ozzie Guillen on the List?

By Brett on September 27, 2010

Brace yourself: Ozzie Guillen says he’d be interested in the Chicago Cubs’ managerial job if he leaves the White Sox. Now unbrace yourself: he’s never been mentioned as even a remote possibility from the Cubs’ perspective, and he almost certainly isn’t. Still, it’s interesting. Guillen said he might be interested if the rival Cubs approached [...]

Chicago Cubs Interview Eric Wedge for Managerial Opening

Chicago Cubs Interview Eric Wedge for Managerial Opening

By Brett on August 27, 2010

The Chicago Cubs have interviewed former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge for their managerial vacancy. Wedge was not among the names rumored to be on the Cubs’ short list as recently as a week ago, so this is at least a moderate surprise. Wedge managed the Indians from 2003-09, winning the American League Manager of [...]

Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: The Dodgers Are A-Callin’

Obsessive Ted Lilly Trade Watch: The Dodgers Are A-Callin’

By Brett on July 20, 2010

Though he didn’t even appear in the game, last night’s shellacking of Carlos Silva made it incrementally more likely that Chicago Cubs starter Ted Lilly would be traded. With just over a week to go before the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31, the Cubs are no doubt continuously evaluating their position vis a vis [...]

Lukewarm Stove: White Sox Join Mets in Interest in Ted Lilly

Lukewarm Stove: White Sox Join Mets in Interest in Ted Lilly

By Brett on July 16, 2010

Add the Chicago White Sox to the list of teams potentially interested in Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Ted Lilly, should the Cubs decide to sell. Sources say the Sox have kicked around the idea of pursuing Lilly. That would give them three lefties in their rotation with Buehrle and Danks, but there are some in [...]

Ted Lilly to the New York Mets?

Ted Lilly to the New York Mets?

By Brett on July 10, 2010

Now that Cliff Lee is off the trade market, Chicago Cubs starter Ted Lilly becomes the best available lefty starting pitcher on the market, and remains one of the best two or three available overall. It seems highly likely that, if the Cubs decide to move Lilly and he’s amenable to waiving his limited no-trade [...]

Is the Trade Market for Carlos Zambrano Going to Shape Up?

Is the Trade Market for Carlos Zambrano Going to Shape Up?

By Brett on July 9, 2010

One of the many pieces the Chicago Cubs would no doubt like to move is currently-restricted pitcher Carlos Zambrano. Still away from the team while he receives anger management treatment and evaluation, Zambrano would likely welcome a trade – despite his no-trade clause – as he’s going to be stuck in the bullpen upon his [...]
