Cubs Trade Rumors


Seeing that the Cubs are our #1 rival/contender I think that it makes sense to keep tabs on what they might be doing to improve over the course of the season. What rumors have been floating out there?

I heard they're willing to deal Matt Murton for bullpen help. Although I wouldn't give up a good bullpen arm for Matt Murton so if that's all they're willing to trade they won't get much.

"dangling Jones and Prior".

 

Prior can't pick up a baseball until November or December at which time the Cubs may not want to offer him arbitration so he may have thrown his last pitch as a Cub. His value is less than nothing.

 

The fans all want Jones dealt, but he's got a fairly large contract and is not all that attractive to other teams.

 

The Cubs are stuck. The guys they'd like to get rid of, Jones, Howry, Eyre, are all saddled with big contracts.

The guys in the Cub pen (Howry, Wuertz, Eyre, Ohman, Dempster), all have some record of success in the past. If they ever all start to pitch like their capable, then I'd worry.

 

Of course if that happens, its likely guys like Marquis will come back down to earth.
