Some Hot Stove Chatter....

- Grabow filed for free agency but the Cubs are likely to sign him to an extension before free agency starts on Friday.

- The Cubs will not offer Gregg or Harden arbitration.

- David Kaplan finally getting in on this Hot Stove chatter. He reports that the Winter Meetings will be very busy for the Cubs and Hendry. Jim felt he has made good progress in several areas and several deals could be closed then. The WM is in Indianapolis on Dec. 7th.

- Bradley will probably end up in Texas or Tampa but according to Bob Nightengale he may end up in Arizona for Eric Byrnes. Byrnes is owed 11 million next season and has interested the Cubs because of his all out attitude and the D'backs are in fact very interested in Bradley. Pull the trigger Hendry.

Til Next Time....

Bradley for Millwood sounds good to me. He is an innings eater.

friday cubs have to finalize the 40 man roster. I don't know why but the cubs always get it wrong.
Couple years ago they had Hamilton he has a .292 average over the last 3 years, plays center and bats left handed. Last year they let McGehee go he batted .301 and played 3B. He could of filled in when Ramirez went down. This year they will let Snyder go who will go some place and bat 300. But they will keep 39 year old pitcher Fox on the roster. Or Patton 6.83 ERA. This is the second CF that will get away in the last 3 years.
