Will The Cubs Try And Slip Matt Garza Through Waivers?
With the Philadelphia Phillies putting Cliff Lee through the waiver process, it makes me think about the Chicago Cubs‘ Matt Garza. Matt Garza was rumored to be traded to like 9 teams at the deadline, but nothing happened (likely because of his tricep “injury”). A lot of people think the Cubs will still try and trade Garza [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Cubs Planning On Benching Bryan LaHair In Favor Of Brett Jackson?
The Chicago Cubs did quite a bit at the trade deadline to improve their minor league system. I gave it a B personally, and it was unfortunate they couldn’t unload Bryan LaHair. As I’ve said for awhile now, this guy is not capable of handling 500-600 AB’s in the major leagues. He’s a Micah Hoffpauir [...]
TweetAlfonso Soriano: Could Be A Great Trade Chip In August
Alfonso Soriano is having a very nice season for the Chicago Cubs offensively. Even though must baseball fans (who aren’t educated) can’t seem to believe he’s turned himself into an above average left fielder this year as well- as he’s really worked on his game out there. With that being said, Alfonso Soriano could be [...]
TweetChicago Cubs: Is A Josh Vitters Callup On The Horizon?
With the passing of the 2012 MLB Trade Deadline, the Chicago Cubs are officially and completely into their rebuilding mode. Not that this is news to anyone, but the dumping of names that includes Ryan Dempster, Reed Johnson, and Geovany Soto proves that this is a new age on the North Side. As well as [...]
TweetTheo Epstein Defends Ryan Dempster In Blocked Atlanta Braves Trade
Not that it matters anymore, but Theo Epstein has publicly defended Ryan Dempster in regards to the Chicago Cubs trade to the Atlanta Braves for Randall Delgado that didn’t happen. Epstein told Dempster in advance that he may have to make a decision on the Braves’ offer a few days in advance of the agreement [...]
TweetMLB Trade Deadline: Should The Chicago Cubs Be Considered “Winners”?
The 3:00 PM EST MLB trade deadline came and went, and when the dust settled, the Chicago Cubs looked quite a bit different. Though they weren’t able to sell quite as much as they would have liked, they did manage to add a bit to the improving farm system. The only question is whether we [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Chicago Cubs Going Hard After Zach Lee?
Throughout this entire process of working our way towards the 2012 MLB Trade Deadline, it’s been pretty obvious that there’s one player in particular that the Chicago Cubs covet, perhaps more than any other potential targets out on the market: Zach Lee. Lee had initially been in talks regarding Ryan Dempster, before the Los Angeles [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Chicago Cubs Determined To Deal Matt Garza Before Deadline
By this time tomorrow, there may be a very, very different look in the starting rotation for the Chicago Cubs. Already having traded Paul Maholm, and a trade of Ryan Dempster to the Los Angeles Dodgers looking more like a matter of ‘when’ than ‘if’, that just leaves Matt Garza. After leaving a start with [...]
TweetBreaking Down Chicago Cubs Trade With The Atlanta Braves
If you’re reading this, then the Chicago Cubs have finally dealt a pitcher to the Atlanta Braves, though it wasn’t quite the hurler we had hoped it would be. The two sides made the deal official late Monday night, as the Cubs sent lefty Paul Maholm and outfielder Reed Johnson to Atlanta in exchange for [...]
TweetMLB Rumors: Cubs Trading For Travis Snyder?
Travis Snider has been removed from the game and is giving hugs in the dugout, a sure sign he’s been traded. This is huge as the Toronto Blue Jays have been talking about Matt Garza of the Chicago Cubs for awhile now. If Travis Snyder is on his way to Chicago, the Cubs have traded Matt [...]
