Whatevz.

I love this move, I wonder what we gave up. Didn't they say he was in much better shape and very focused? It could be huge for us if he returns to his old self.

I am assuming this kicks Volstad out of the rotation.

If we're giving up crappy prospects and they're paying a good portion of his salary, I'm cool with it.

gonna have to be atleast a decent prospect or two if you expect the Cubs to pay some of the salary

Calling it now. Wildest MLB tantrum in history will be Zambrano on Marlins taking a bat to aquarium glass. #done

Trade is nearly done

Prospect will depend on how much of the 18mil the Cubs pick up-Marlins want them to pick up at least 10-12 million,so if they do they will be getting a decent 1(CEDA might be going back)

Also if he is dealt Z will NOT take his option next year

The reasoning behind getting Z is all the teams want way to much for a SP,with the Cubs not interested in dealing Garza without getting a ML Ready SP in return

So after Z, we are done with the rotation? Not thinking of trading Ricky or anything like that?
