The Cubs wouldn't sign Reyes, though. We have this dude named Castro. Perhaps you've heard of him. Yeah, the Marlins would be nuts to get a guy who actually plays 3B that is cheap. Totally nuts.

Hanley Ramirez is going to have to move now that Reyes is a Marlin. Either to 3B or to another team.

3) Will Matt Garza be on another team come Thursday afternoon? The Cubs reportedly are listening on Garza and if the right offer comes, Team Theo will ship him. However, Theo Epstein said Matt Garza is the right guy to build around. But he could just be saying that for the fans and so Matt Garza ignores all rumors. Matt Garza’s agent said look for a active Winter Meetings… If I had to guess, Matt Garza will not be traded and be the ace for the Cubs in ’12.

4) Will the Cubs finally be able to trade Alfonso Soriano? Cub fans it might actually happen! The Cubs are once again shopping Soriano and trying to deal him. It’s been reported that 4 AL teams are interested in Soriano’s service. If the Cubs are willing to eat half to majorty of the 3 years/54 million left on his contract. Which the Cubs are said to be willing too. I do expect Soriano to be traded to an AL team in the next few days. Doesn’t that sound awesome?!

I read this and it occurred to me that the Cubs could possibly pick up the phone and call the Giants. They could do what's said above about Soriano's contract and throw in either Zambrano or Garza to acquire Caine.

The Giants could get a little worse at pitcher but they'd be able to add a bat.

The other thing that occurred to me is I wonder if Seattle's one of the teams interested in Soriano.

Hanley Ramirez not happy with the move to 3rd...so let's see how the Marlins front office/Ozzie handles that.

The Marlins are still making a push for Pujols...seriously where the **** is the money coming from.

Also, the Cubs could offer Pujols more a year rather then give him the years.

I think Boston could too, if they lose out on Ortiz.
