- Gray was sent to AAA Iowa and removed from the 40-man roster.
- Levine states Fukudome is very likely to be traded.
- Zambrano is likely to be shopped but unlike to be traded due to his no-trade clause.
- Levine also said the Cubs may not have enough money to sign free agents unless Hendry gets creative again this winter.
- Byrd says Orlando Hudson would be a great addition to the team as far as a leader in the clubhouse. I agree but Levine says DeWitt will be the starting 2nd baseman next season unless the find money to sign Hudson.
- The Yankees will likely outbid the Cubs for Kerry Wood this off-season.
- Brett Jackson, Jay Jackson, and Chris Archer will likely make it to the Bigs by late summer according to Bruce Levine.
- Jim Hendry’s biggest priority is Adam Dunn but Hendry can only sign him if he trades a big contract for next season.
- According to multiple reports and sources the Cubs are front runner to sign Adam Dunn.
- The Cubs will try very hard to trade Soriano.
- Ryne Sandberg will not have a place on the Chicago Cubs according to Bruce Levine, but management would like him to manage the Iowa Cubs again next season. Sandberg was told "that a coaching position would not be available at the Major League level" What a slap in the face, the Cubs should at least offer him the bench coaching position and let him determine whether he wants it or not!
- Ozzie Guillen said if his bench coach Joey Cora went elsewhere he would welcome Sandberg to the South Side to replace him. That would be hard for me to take.
- Pat Listach is likely to stay in Washington unless he gets a managerial job in the ML.
- Ken Macha is now the favorite to land the bench coaching position on Quade’s staff.
Until Next Time…

No matter how hard the Cubs try to trade Soriano the only way that they are going to be able to do it is if they pay 85% + of his remaining salary, much like the Rockies did in order to get rid of Hampton several years ago.
