I heard this on ESPN radio this morning and now the Sporting News has picked up on it as welll. Apparently our neighbors down to the south are beginning to feel Brewer breath on the back of their necks. The guys on ESPN were of the opinion that the A's still feel they can contend and probably won't move Harden. I guess we'll see.

Theriot, Dumpster and Hill for Harden. I would love that!

That still wouldn't be enough, Hill has no value at all until he can actually a MLB player out again, Dempster is a FA after this year and Theriot is Theriot, he is solid but certainly can't be considered to be a key negotiating piece.

This shouldn't surprise anyone, the Cubs have been shopping for a pitcher for as long as the Brewers had been. I would think Sabathia to Milwaukee will force them to aim higher, which makes it Harden instead of Wolf.

 

I fully expect the Cubs to add a starter, just as I expect the Brewers to add a reliever, and that still leaves St Louis to do their thing - this should be a great race.

I mentioned this in the Transactions thread, but the radio stations here in the Bay Area are reporting this as well but they keep sourcing it back to the Sun-Times article this morning (as are ESPN radio, etc) which basically says "look for things to heat up on that front." Well, of course, I'm sure a lot of teams are inquiring.

 

I just don't know what the Cubs could possibly offer Beane for Harden this year that wouldn't set the major league team back a little.

That is freaking hilarious! "Hey Dougie, we could use another lefthanded bat in our lineup. Why don't you try to trade for player x. OK? Thanks. We'll talk again soon". Yeah right. No baseball GM is just going to take phone calls from regular fans, is he?
