Hot Stove Cubbies mentions the Cubs might be working on a 3-way trade with the Royals and Pirates. The Cubs will get John Grabow and Mark Teahen, Royals get Tom Gozelanny and a PTBNL from the Cubs and the Pirates get prospects. His source also says the Cubs are "working hard" to try to acquire both.
I would be in favor with that. Mark Teahen will play second and is batting over .290, John Grabow will be a lefty specialist then.
Could the Cubs be interested Orioles closer George Sherrill? Ken Rosenthal reports that 8 teams are interested on George Sherrill and 2 or 3 teams have actually discussed him.
That would be hard for the Cubs with the lack of prospects and they don't want to trade there top ones in any trades.
The Cubs optioned Jeff Stevens to Triple A and called up Mitch Atkins from Triple A Iowa.
Geovany Soto might be set to return to the Cubs next week.

Sorry-
ReplyDeleteI just ran across this as I am looking for real sources on this trade. Mark Teahen will not play 2B...KC did try him there but he is not a 2B, he is not good at that position. The Cubs would be fools to play him there. They are getting him to play RF and platoon with Bradley
Did you see that or is that what you think?
ReplyDeleteAlso Teahen is playing 3B for KC and I think if he gets more playing time he will be able to play 2B (my opinion).
