  Kap's Corner — Authority: 462
  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 ...

  RosenBlog — Authority: 574
  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 ...

• John Grabow is About to Get Paid

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 475
  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. ...

  Bats — Authority: 642
  The managers of the year were announced Wednesday, and as usual, there were no surprises. The winners were Jim Tracy of the Colorado Rockies and Mike Scioscia of the Los Angeles Angels. This is an odd award, isnt it?

• Why Joe Did Not Go

  
  IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS... caught. — Authority: 546
  With a $200 million payroll, a new $1.5 billion stadium despoiled by conspicuously empty seats, anxious, impatient management and fans thirsting for victory after a postseason-less 2008 campaign, and a 15-17 record, 6-1/2 games behind the division leaders five agonizing weeks into the season, a 22-4 loss to Cleveland ...

• Sox make a deal (maybe), Yanks make history, Cubs make the usual bad news

  
  RosenBlog — Authority: 574
  The White Sox acquired left-handed-hitting Mark Teahen, according to a report, and I’m thinking, what, Gabe Kapler wasn’t available? If the report is true, Teahen would come from Kansas City in exchange for second baseman Chris Getz and corner infielder Josh Fields. Teahen played every infield position except ...

• Some Ideas for the Cubs

  
  Kap's Corner — Authority: 462
  The Cubs are starting to see the fruits of their labor to improve their farm system, as a handful of top flight prospects are nearly ready to play at the major league level. SS Starlin Castro is probably the closest position player to the big leagues, with 3B Josh Vitters not far behind, especially offensively. So ...

• Payroll May Increase Slightly, But Might Not Include Any New Big Names

  
  Bleacher Nation | Chicago Cubs News, Rumors, and Commentary — Authority: 475
  The Chicago Cubs sported a very healthy $140 million(ish) payroll in 2009 - good enough to top the Senior Circuit (with the New York Mets having about the same payroll). And it was worth every penny, right? Fans no doubt expect that payroll will increase next year, and it is expected to do so, incrementally at least. ...

  Kap's Corner — Authority: 462
  While I consider Rick Morrissey a colleague and a friend, we usually disagree on most of the topics we discuss in the sports world. However, his column this morning in the Chicago Tribune was outstanding. For a world class city with the best sports fans in the world, we sure dont have much in the way of colorful ...
