Just sign Garza stupid Cubs people!! He is better than anything we will get for him.

I agree but 1 of them dont want to sign extension. We never know if its Cubs or Garza. If your Garza wouldnt you test the market? Only 2 months away. I wouldnt sign deal with team that is 3+ yrs from winning

Garza actually really likes Chicago. The Cubs don't like his contract demands. They want to go around 3 years or so and Garza wants 5. He would be dumb to sign a low ball offer when pitching is weak in FA.

Garza has said he wants to stay.. So who knows what's happening there. This whole team is a mess.

I stated this earlier in the thread, but if he really wants to help the team it is a simple situation. He takes the trade this season so that the Cubs can acquire more talent, then he signs back with the Cubs this winter. Win-win for both sides involved.

That would be the best thing to happen but Rarely ever happens. Only guy i can think of is Cliff Lee

Im sure money is off as well. lol Garza is looking for a Anibal Sanchez contract or more and the Cubs are probably trying for an Edwin JAckson type just for a little more money.

From Bleacher Nation:
Obviously a lot depends on who the other piece is in a deal, but that isn't a bad return to be honest.

If that was the deal - and by the time I am reading the board and posting this we are already hearing the deal may fall through - but, if that was what we had coming back, I wouldn't care which other Cub was going. (Assuming it's one thought to be on the trading block that is.) It could be Schierholtz, Soriano, Navarro, Barney, Gregg....any, and I would be OK with it)

105 years without a title, and Theo is in Year TWO, and you;re cursing him? Gimme a break!!

Two weeks from today, the Cubs will be loaded with good to great prospects (they already have several). Relax!!

Yeah it seems like Texas is falling out of the picture fast. Nationals are rumored to be the mystery NL team that has been mentioned in a few reports according to Cubs Den.

  1. Minnesota United FC
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
  1. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Third time in two years this management team got pantsed in negotiating.

John Arguello at Cubs Den is stating that is was a pitcher on the Texas Rangers side (going to assume Neil Ramirez and his recent shoulder issues) meds that caused the deal to fall through.

Dempster to the Braves and Marmol to the Angels.

Not saying its a bad thing those deals or this one didn't happen, just seems odd that three deals would fall through so quick :shrug:

Who knows, if it was something on the Rangers' side (Ramirez most likely), then if they are truly still interested, the Cubs might be able to get them to give up Luke Jackson now. Swap Ramirez out for Jackson and call it a deal perhaps.
