Phillies asking around for bullpen help...the Cubs should try and see if they can ship one of their players to the Phills. They do have some that can go for sure.

Maybe. Be interesting to see if they would be interested in Shark or Grabow.

Or what they would give for Marmol.

Can't very well trade Wood. That would be quite the dick move on the part of the Cubs FO.

 

[waldo7239117]

Wood as a NTC and he will likely decline a trade. He better! I doubt JH will back stab him and deal him. I want him to finish his career as Cub and work in the Cubs FO or as a coach. I can actually see that happening.

The Phills are expected to make a run at Heat Bell, so if Marmol was made available...the Phills will call and see. Both will not be cheap. However, I don't see Marmol going anywhere and I doubt he's available.

I wish they would take Grabow, he has like 2.4M remaining on his cotract.

Pittsburgh Pirates a game above .500 going into July. :bizarro:

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

well trading a couple of bull pen guys depends on what we're going to get back

i'd rather keep marmol(but he might be good bait) and no way on wood...grablow i'll drive him to philly lol

 

[daddies3angels]

With Wood starting his charity today im about 99% he wont leave Cubs

 

[Uman85]

LOL at the Reds. They were up 8-0 and now it's 8-7 in the 8th inning against the Cardinals. :lol:

Going to extras...Albert Pujols has made contact and put the ball in play every time he's gotten to the plate, but only has one RBI-hit. Guess he's not completely repaired yet.

Saving those twins and putting Casey Anthony in jail is harder than you think.

Ha I was joking. It happened during one of our matches though. Also during the first WWC game Saturday. The France/England one.

That is a nice milestone. Good for him. never had an issue with the way he plays.

He's always been one of the few class acts in baseball. A well-deserved milestone for Jeter.

he gets the defensive overrated shit all the time, but still a great ball player.
