• Bruce Miles Defends the Harden Arbitration Decision - and Fails

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  The Chicago Cubs’ decision yesterday to not offer arbitration to pitcher Rich Harden has been the subject of much hand wringing. We’ve been no exception. So it is a credit to anyone who can cogently defend the move, as Bruce Miles has done. But that said, Bruce is just plain wrong. I really hate to do it, because ...

• Cubs Choose Not to Offer Arbitration to Harden

  
  Kap's Corner — Authority: 521
  Tonight is the deadline for clubs to offer salary arbitration to their free agents. And for the Cubs, that means they have decisions to make on a handful of players, including starting pitcher Rich Harden and closer Kevin Gregg. I have learned that the Cubs have informed Harden and Gregg as well as outfielder Reed ...

• Tuesday is the Arbitration Deadline - Cubs Plan No Offers

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  Tuesday is the deadline for Major League teams to offer arbitration to their free agents. If the player accepts, he will get a one-year contract at a rate determined by an arbitrator (if necessary), and that rate almost always represents a raise over the prior year’s salary. If the player declines and then signs ...

• Obsessive Bradley Trade Watch: Yup, It All Depends on Milton

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  In case there was ever any doubt, the Chicago Cubs’ offseason is being held hostage by Milton Bradley. Until the Cubs figure out what to do with him, they can’t move forward with other plans. This is, of course, because the 2010 payroll is only going to edge up ever so slightly from 2009; so until and unless the ...

• The Cubs Are Looking For a Centerfielder

  
  Foul Balls — Authority: 479
  Well the season has been over for nearly two months now, and Milton Bradley is still a member of the Chicago Cubs.  A scenario in which neither the team, the player, or the fans are probably all that happy with at the moment.  The Cubs would like to make some changes this winter, but the fact is, they really cant do ...

• Come to Think of It: Jeff Baker is Not the Answer for the Cubs at Second Base

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  I keep reading and hearing from both Cubs fans and the media alike that Jeff Baker is likely to be the starting second baseman for the Cubs in 2010. If that happens, I think it will be a mistake. You see, Baker has never done anything outside of Coors Field. It would be a leap of faith by Cubs general manager Jim ...

• Jim Hendry: What Will He Do With the Chicaco Cubs?

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  With things so quiet on the trade front, you have to assume that the winter meetings will start the momentum of the offseason going—someone will overpay for a reliever that had a career year or a position player that was great two years ago but has been injured since.  The question for us is, what will Jim Hendry ...

• Chicago Cubs Are Over the Freaking Moon with Starlin Castro

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  It’s no secret that the Chicago Cubs love Starlin Castro, a 19 year old shortstop who was signed outside the draft a few years ago. But they apparently think they’ve got an Alex Rodriguez/Hanley Ramirez type on their hands, because they are seriously considering making room for him on the big team this year. ...

• Giving Thanks: To Jim Hendry, Cubs GM

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  The 2003 season changed Cubs fans lives forever. We all know about Steve Bartman, Moises Alou, Alex Gonzalez, Mark Prior, and Dusty Baker in Game Six of the 2003 NLCS. Each of them had a role in the epic collapse, and each has left a sour taste in the mouths of Cubs fans.   The one man who nobody talks about is ...

• North Side November: Where Are the Chicago Cubs?

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  All is quiet on the northern front in Chicago baseball so far this winter. Which is odd, because Jim Hendrys last few winters have been highlighted by more big game hunting than a weekend with Ted Nugent. When a guys resume includes bringing in names like Alfonso Soriano, Ted Lilly, Kosuke Fukudome and Milton ...

Yes, even the Cubs GM makes requests of Santa Claus and the Clark-Addison Cubs fan blog has obtained his 2009 Christmas wishes. Sources familiar with the matter indicate Mr. Hendry has petitioned Jolly Ol’ St. Nick to aid him in ...

• Milton Bradley Wins Dubious Distinction

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  It’s award season in MLB, and the disappointing Chicago Cubs didn’t figure to get much recognition. Except the bad kind. Milton Bradley was named the Least Valuable Player in the NL by Sports Illustrated. Anyway, put it all together, and including those all-important intangibles, the 2009 LVP is Bradley. He was ...

• On Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Ricky Bobby

  
  RosenBlog — Authority: 573
  The Cubs will do almost anything to move Milton Bradley. Yay. One rumor has him to going back to Texas with Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood moving to the Mets and the Mets sending the Cubs second baseman Luis Castillo,  who hit .302 last season. OK, so he’s not Aaron Miles, but it’s a start. Thing is, Castillo ...

• Bullpen matters: Grabow signed, Heilman dealt

  
  waxpaperbeercup — Authority: 119
  A couple of items involving the Cubs bullpen took place earlier today: 1. The Cubs signed John Grabow to a two year deal . The Chicago Cubs and John Grabow have agreed to terms of a two-year contract that will pay the left-handed set-up man close to $7.5 million, according to a source familiar with the situation. ...

• John Grabow is About to Get Paid

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  The Chicago Cubs are on the verge of doing what they do so well in the Jim Hendry era: resigning the players they want to keep. Unfortunately, they’re also on the verge of doing what they do so crappily: signing middle relievers with short track records of success to contracts for too much money and too many years. ...

• Could The Chicago Cubs Pursue Roy Halladay?

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  I was wandering around various baseball sites today, and came across a thought that honestly made me laugh when I first read it. "[The Cubs] have the finances... have a chance to win, which is what [Roy] Halladay will certainly require, and while the Cubs farm system isnt atop the league right now, there are a few ...

• Cleveland Indians To Reacquire Milton Bradley?

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 778
  The Cleveland Indians have begun talks with the Chicago Cubs about reacquiring Milton Bradley, according to Haul Poynes of the Dain Plealer . The Indians were forced to deal Bradley before the 2004 season after a publicized altercation with then-manager and notable clubhouse cancer, Eric Wedge. Feeling tightness ...

• OMGranderson Watch: The Cubs Would Be Nuts Not to Trade Starlin Castro for Curtis Granderson

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 477
  The Chicago Cubs are finally in a place, prospect-wise, where they can pick and choose what prospects they will consider trading for a clear upgrade on the big league club. That’s why it’s no surprise that reports have indicated repeatedly that the Cubs will not trade Starlin Castro in any trade this offseason. ...

• Granderson Price Likely Too Steep for Cubs

  
  Clark-Addison Cubs Fan Blog — Authority: 108
  Well meaning Cubs fans are loudly advocating the team to dump Milton Bradley and move to acquire Curtis Granderson to play center field and lead off for the 2010 Chicago Cubs.  At first blush, perhaps that would be a fine swap. But realistically I just don’t see how it can happen without an extrordinary ...

• Curtis Granderson or bust? (just kidding)

  
  waxpaperbeercup — Authority: 119
  As Cub fans we are glutton’s for punishment. Until recently most of that punishment came between the months of June and September (and occasionally October). The offseason was the time for duckies, bunnies and world series dreams. But that has changed, the last three offseason’s now Cub fans, thanks to the msm, ...
