Cubs Links, Rumors, Ect.

  • Gordan Wittenmyer reports that those close to Jim Hendry expect him to restart the Jake Peavy talks.
  • Hendry would still have to get the OK from the new ownership first.
  • Wittenmyer says that the new ownership could be in place in just enough time for the Cubs to make a deal for Peavy.
  • Dav van Dyck thinks Andy Pettitte could be a fit for the Cubs.
  • The Cubs had looked at Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, and Adam Dunn but decided on Bradley because of what he brings on defense.
  • Sources say that if Milton is on the field for less than 120 games the Cubs will be in trouble.
  • Ronny Cedeno is the Cubs best bet to be traded. Cedeno ran afoul of Piniella the last two years with what the Cubs perceived to be careless play at times.

WGN Radio.com brought this blog to my attention. It is by Maverick owner Mark Cuban. His latest post is called "The Cubs". Check it out here.

Click here for a good Cubs blog that is worth reading.

The CCO brought this article to my attention: A report from Dugout Central pointed toward desperation as the reason the Cubs have more than just 'tweaked the roster' this winter.

That's all for now, I'll keep you posted.
