Carlos Zambrano has to get lazer eye surgery so he can see the strike zone when pitching and hitting and he doesnt want to wear glasses or contacts
1 bad thing on the Peavy Saga is Ceo of the Padres saids Jake Peavy will be with us on opening day but also Jim Hendry hasnt call GM Towers back lately beacause he needs to get the ownership resolve but I think all in end the Cubs will eventually get Peavy

Latest on Cubs
The Cubs sign OF So Taguchi to a minor league deal probably to comfort Kosuke
So Taguch played for our rival The St. Louis Cardinals
The Cubs ownership should be resolve in the next couple weeks and then then the whole thing resolve by close to opening day
When Jim Hendry finds out who the new owner is, he will talk to the new owner and see if they can take on the 63 million left on Jake Peavy Contract
The Ricketts family who is one of the 3 top bidders said they will take on the contract
and that is when you will here the Rumors again my estimate 2 to 3 weeks
MLB.com is reporting the Cubs are quietly shopping Alfonso Soriano around
The Cubs also avoided arbitration with Ronny Cedeno on a 1 year deal worth about 700K
The Cubs might sign Utility Rich Aurilia to a 1 year contract to back up Ramirez at third base
The Cubs also have interest in P Randy Wolf to be the fifth starter (I would rather have Sheets and they are acking for the samr price) only if we dont get Jake Peavy
This week the Cubs Convention starter with the main questions who will be the fifth starter and who will be the closer for the 2009 season
So far the 5th starter is to Marshall
and the closer, Marmol and Gregg will battle for it
The trade canidates and people I dont see making the opening day roster is felix Pie, Rich Hill, Kevin Hart, Ronny Cedeno, and I have Angel Guzman making the bullpen but there are teams looking for starting pitching like the Diamondbacks and they only have 4 million left to spend this offseason

Cubs recent udates by Waldo72391
The Chicago Tribune is reporting the cubs have sign Paul Bako to a 1 year deal worth about 500,000
The cubs trade Mark Derosa to the Indians for 3 minor leaguers
The Cubs trade Jason Marquise and 1 million to the Rockies for Viziano
The Cubs are set to sign Milton Bradley in the next week or two
GM Jim Hendry said he wants to add more speed to the lineup
Bruce Levine saids there is 80% the cubs will trade for Peavy with the trade around cubs top prospect Josh Vitters
I think if the Cubs do trade for Peavy it will be in the next month or so because that is when catchers and pitchers start meeting in Mesa Arizona
Also Bruce Levine saids that the new ownership has to be resolve befor they can take on the salarie of Jake Peavy
will update when I here more
