More old-ish news, but update-ish too.

Nick Cafardo update on MLBTraderumors about Garza
First time I have heard emotions being used as a concern for trading for Garza. Probably a lot of it is posturing, but it is interesting to note.

Just adding fuel to the fire, but Matt Harrison left the Rangers game with a back injury tonight.

Interesting thought as a possible suitor for Garza that isn't talked about:

Not that most reliable source, but like I said an interesting thought that makes some sense.

Unfortunately the Royals lack pitching that is close as far as my recollection of their system goes. I want to say they're position player heavy like the Cubs, with better prospects as far as I recall.

My favorite teams
I would be tempted to do Garza for Starling straight up... but OF isn't really a need (I know that you normally don't trade for a need with prospects, focusing more on who has the most potential, but...)

If you are going to aim big, why not shoot for Will Myers?

Rangers were mentioned as a possibility to jump into the Garza discussions with the injuries they've been having. Goldstein is tweeting that the Rangers are calling up their top pitching prospect Martin Perez. It will be interesting to keep an eye on because if he struggles perhaps the Rangers might get involved in the Garza sweepstakes.

2 weeks ago i would have said they did
But now Teams will want to see him pitch 2-3 times off DL before a deal gets done. So if he struggles at all after DL stint his value going to drop

for garza. i dont know how the cubs can improve their mediocre farm when they have no one really outside of garza with value. id much rather have a bad farm with a handful of pieces and focus on established proven players via fa and trade.
