I don't see how we have enough quality prospects to get both deals completed, unless Florida and San Diego are part of a three team trade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-90982358039602804662008-11-06T19:04:00.000-06:002008-11-06T19:04:00.000-06:00I listened to WGN Radio 720 on the way back home f...I listened to WGN Radio 720 on the way back home from work. During the news sports update, they said Dave Kaplan is reporting that the Cubs are the front runner, which is what you have already heard. But they went on to say that if the Cubs land Peavy, they will NOT be able to resign Demp cause of what is left on Peavy's deal. So contradicts what Ken Ro says, but of course time will tell what really happens.<BR/><BR/>AJ Burnett opted out of his contract, so there is another name for Demp to compete with on the market or the Cubs to consider.<BR/><BR/>I'm still surprised by the reported Sabathia interest vs resigning Demp. <BR/><BR/>A lot of people are saying the Cubs cant do much this off season cause of the pending sale. What I'm wondering is... cant the Cubs run the potential deals by the prospective buyers and get their ok? Cause what if the new owners want to inherit a consistent contender? I know this process would drag out the response time and could allow another team to swoop in or at the very least create more chances for rumors to leak (which is good for us, but knowing how Hendry likes to work as close to the vest as possible, may hurt his strategy).<BR/><BR/>How come your so comfy with not resigning Wood? Has any word leaked as to what he is asking for thats causing you to balk? And even if we didnt resign him and Marmol and Samardzja both moved up a role, we will still need a power RH RP in front of them on top of the one or two leftys we are already looking for.<BR/><BR/>Will Lou admit his error if we can some how lure Scotty Ire back? He wasnt exactly lights out for the Phils, but he wasnt bad as he looked the few times Lou remembered he was still on the team. I'm still pissed that Lou didnt give Eyre the same amount of benefit of the doubt as he did with Bob Frickin Howry.<BR/><BR/>Any rumors or personal opinions on what mid level prospects would land us Hermeda and Olsen?<BR/><BR/>JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
