waldo, it doesn't say that anywhere in the chat.

And it said talent like Hak-Ju would be CONSIDERED.

k, it still says Hak-Ju would just be considered. If we can pull this off without trading any of the guys you mentioned AND Lee it would be one of the Cubs best trades ever. And Archer would thrive at PETCO.

Well yeah because we are basically giving up nothing.

In order for us to have a prayer of getting A-Gon Castro or Vitters is most likely going. Hopefully its Vitters.

If we could do Vitters/Archer/lower level pitcher for A-Gon and a 72 hour time to work out an extension, I would be all over it.

I think A-Gon is just a notch below Pujols.

Ya, but apparently they don't wanna trade Vitters, so I'd just give them Lee and Archer, then try to Nishioka.

Padres want a backup catcher according to MLBTR (in a non-Gonzalez-related rumor), so maybe they'd take Chirinos or Castillo as a main part of the deal and Archer, since we'd have to trade him.

According to you the Cubs aren't competing this year, so why should it matter?

wow! please change your name.

anyway, i said that because.......i highly doubt the cubs would trade for a guy with 1 year left on a deal who wont be participating in spring training due to surgery.

please contact rush and ask him to change your name. thanks for playing.

If they traded for him, they'd have a 24-48 hour negotiating window to get an extension done though.

Why would any team trade for Gonzo and not sign him to an extension, that's just stupid.

there are teams that do such a thing.

I'm talking specifically about Gonzo. Teams do that kind of thing midseason, I cannot think of any time they've done it with a top 5 or 10 player in the league, during the offseason.

I take exception to pitchers, because no pitcher is worth the amount of money Lee is going to(or would) get.

:obama:

so no matter how great they are, pitchers dont count because you dont believe they are worth the money? :rolleyes:
