The Cubs budget bump up 16.5 million for the 2009 season. There were 14 teams that there budget decrease in 2009. The Cubs had the biggest bump and the Padres had the reduction at almost 20 million. That could be good news for the Cubs and getting Jake Peavy because they want to cut the biggest payroll and that is Peavy and his 63 miilion contract.
According to Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Jake Peavy is earning about 30% of there payroll. So they might want to trade him. Krasovic adds that the Dodgers and the Cubs interest both the Padres and Peavy. Peavy said he wants to play in the NL. A person close to Peavy said these 2 teams remain the most possible for a trade. The Cubs remain the best because I don't think the Padres will trade Peavy to a division opponent in the Dodgers.
The Cubs beat the Astros 4-2.
The Cubs are 1-0
MVP: Mike Fontenot for going 3 for 4 with 2 singles, double and 2 runs.
LVP: Kosuke Fukudome for going 0 for 4 with a groundout, flyout, strikeout and a double play.
I will keep you posted.
