Latest Cubs news on Garza and Soriano

Latest Cubs news on Garza and Soriano
Yesterday we visited the possibility of the Theo compensation issue holding up a potential Matt Garza deal. Later in the day John at Cubs Den was told by a source that Alfonso Soriano had nixed a deal that would have sent him to Baltimore. I was able to reach out to some of my sources... Read more »

Why Matt Garza is still a Cub

Why Matt Garza is still a Cub
One angle proposed today is that the Theo Epstein and Red Sox compensation issue could be holding up a potential Matt Garza deal. I checked on that possibility with my people and while it’s plausible, I’m told that it’s likely not an issue. The simple reason Matt Garza is still a Cub is the Tigers... Read more »

Cubs convention, the good, the bad, and the lame

Cubs convention, the good, the bad, and the lame
The Cubs convention comes to a close today and while the Cubs tried to make the Kerry Wood signing the big story, there is much more to examine. Theopolooza The overall focus of the convention unsurprisingly was Theo Epstein and the new front office. Theo was clearly uncomfortable with the anticipated rock star treatment. Sorry... Read more »

Cubs fans let go of your Cubbie blankie

Cubs fans let go of your Cubbie blankie
There is no time like now to give up your Cubbie blankie. Theo Epstein is here to clean house. Let him finish the job. It won’t hurt if you don’t have a emotional connection to any of the players. You will develop new ones. This new model is going to be built around developing new... Read more »

Cubs are starting to look rebuilt already

Cubs are starting to look rebuilt already
It was a case of mixed emotions for the Cubs brass on Friday. Theo and Jed got their man in Anthony Rizzo, while their other building block was putting quite a damper on the day. I don’t want to get too into the Starlin Castro allegations until we know more. Let’s just all hope Castro’s... Read more »

Cubs talking to Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox about Matt Garza

Cubs talking to Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox about Matt Garza
As the action has picked up again in the hot stove, look for the Cubs to get serious about moving Matt Garza. A source told me Toronto is first in line, but another says Boston and the Yankees are also a strong part of the mix. The Yankees have a ton to offer and of... Read more »

Cubs blowing it up shouldn't shock you

Cubs blowing it up shouldn't shock you
Complete rebuild? Blowing it up? It doesn’t matter what you call it now. The facts are this new regime didn’t like what they inherited from the get go and knew they would make sweeping changes. Whether it was calling Sean Marshall one of the most valuable left handed relievers in the game, or saying Matt... Read more »

Cubs plan should include Rizzo, not Fielder

Cubs plan should include Rizzo, not Fielder
I’m jumping off the Prince Fielder bandwagon. No one is really sure if the Cubs are or were ever serious about signing the big free agent anyway. I’ve just had enough time to think rationally about the Cubs future. Yes, Fielder would make the Cubs instant players in a weakened division. He would also sell... Read more »

Cubs still have everyone guessing

Cubs still have everyone guessing
There have been many reports involving the Cubs lately. The biggest issue I have with any of these reports is that they all seem to contradict each other. You have many of the premier baseball writers such as ESPN’s Buster Olney and Jon Morosi of FOX painting the Cubs as the favorites for Prince Fielder... Read more »
