At least three would-be buyers of the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise have submitted second-round bids to Tribune Co., according to newspaper reports. The...
I remember that Choi was supposed to have been some sort of an answer, too. Didn't he fade quickly? ... From: Scott Rendler <itzscott1@...> Subject:...
No matter how the rest of the Giants' offseason unfolds, they already can say that the back end of the bullpen moved to the forefront. Completing their search...
Baseball is holding its annual Winter Meetings next week in the perfect locale for the Cubs: Las Vegas. That doesn't mean the front-office staff will be camped...
Well the word is that if the Orioles are the 3rd team involved to make a trade for Jake Peavy, they are wanting Cedeno and Pie from the Cubs. Aren't they part...
Much rather have Roberts at this point than Peavy. He's the missing link to the offense and would be the 1st true leadoff man the Cubs had since Lofton.... and...
While I am a firm believer in the "you can never have too much pitching" school, I would like to finally have a real leadoff hitter. I'm not sure if a...
If the Cubs have a shot at getting Roberts, they need to jump on it this time, I don't think there's a chance at all, but I say go ahead and give up Pie and...
I am thinking like Rob a little in that I want more, however since we have to pick then I go with Roberts on this one. It accomplishes two things in that we...
Len Kasper will be one of the voices of the Cubs through 2011. The Cubs announced Thursday that Kasper received a contract extension and will remain as the...
I could really go either way on this. I love the idea of getting Roberts and having him #1, Theriot #2, and then the rest of the order. That sounds like a...
I like the idea of trading for Roberts since the Cubs need a true lead off man,and face it,Sorino isn't it. Makes me wonder what possesed the Cubs to give him...
The wheels are starting to turn with the beginning of the winter meetings. I'm wondering if this reported three-team deal might end up being a four-team deal....
... Yes.... Hendry should do what it takes to try and get both Roberts and Peavy to win it now. He and Piniella have stated that the Cubs have a 2-year window...
Your observations, sadly, make sense. Does anyone think it's truly a possibility that we'd get both? I'd love it, I just am cynical when it comes to things...
I've always enjoyed the skewed view of the Onion. Although when it comes to their sports reporting they usually are much more favorable to the east and west...
I'm beginning to come around to the 'win at any cost' POV. One thing I would suggest is that the Cubs need to seriously improve the quality of their minor...
... guys know their stuff..i'm going to be your eye on the field..as it were, i'm here in mesa getting ready for febr. can't wait..talk to you soon.....
Rumor is that the basics of the deal are already worked out. A couple of new ideas that I had not heard before have surfaced on MLBTradeRumors.com. First one...
Losing DeRosa will hit this team HARD! DeRosa was one of the things that separated last year's team from a team like the Yankees. he was a hustler, a...
Steve, Welcome to the group. I'm ready for an busy off-season. It will be interesting to see what the Cubs roster looks like for 2009. It would be a wonderful...
Keenan, I agree that losing DeRosa would be tough for the Cubs. He was invaluable to the Cubs as a injury replacement and at second base. I would also like to...
Agree, but I think it may be a case of either getting Peavy in exchange for the Cubs future or sacrificing DeRosa for the Phillies future and being able to...
I think a big part of it is that they also clear salary space. With the ownership still in flux, they have a limited amount of funds. I know that being able to...
