wood and 2 minor leaguers make it worth it IMO

depends on the minor leaguers, but this certainly sounds like something the Cubs are going to consider strongly.

The girlfriend is going to be pissed tomorrow when she wakes up and finds out her favorite Cub has been traded.

Can't believe we're going to make this trade...

True. If they pull this trade and a Garza trade, 2012 is gearing up to be a difficult season to watch.

Reds fans hate it also, even Wood for Marshall straight up.
A reds insider had this to say:
Just talked to someone who said he's (reds GM) been sitting on this since the Latos deal and that it is very close.

Yeah if we're talking Wood plus a few specs.. I'm for it.
Seriously.. I like Marshall but he's a reliever.
You have an opportunity to get a potential top of the line starter with half a decade left of club control.
You do this trade immediately.

Im really wondering why you guys are freaking out over this...is Marshall a good lefty pitcher? yes
but
we are 2-4 years away from competing for a WS (if everything goes as planned) and why sit on a good pitcher like Marshall when we can get a Lefty starter (something we need more than bullpen help) and 2 minor leaguers which are important to rebuild the farm or to use later as trade bait
It seems like a no brainer to me

I am not a huge fan of losing Marshall as he is our most consistent bullpen option, but perhaps this is the price we pay to get out of this mess.
I would like the trade more if it was
Marshall and Byrd
for
Wood and some upper level prospects.

I wouldnt mind that either
more money off books and good specs
im guessing that the Reds dont want that though otherwise Theo would have done it

Matt Thorton has a good case on that front for the title.

He had a sort of off-year in 2011 but over the course of his career has been better than Marshall...similar number of walks, more strikeouts as well.
I think the case for Venters is strong. But Marshall is among the elite even if he's not the best.

No doubt about it. Marshall if great. And as long as Thorton doesn't close, I think he's the best setup man, coincidentally also the worst closer. :lol:
For Venters, love to see him repeat this year. If he does, I have no issues putting him on top of the hill
