- DeRosa said that on one hand he's disappointed and said he didn't even know how much he was going to love Chicago when he signed.
- Mark was on the golf coarse when he got the call to say that he was traded. DeRo said that he followed the whole Peavy sage online and says he thought his time in Chicago would continue when the Peavy trade fell through.
- He said that when he saw that Jim was calling him he knew he got traded.
- Mark is exited about playing 3rd base with the Indians.
- Kap asked if DeRosa would ever come back to the Cubs if he got offered a contract. Mark sounded like he definitely would.
- He said that Lee, Lilly, Dempster, and other team mates have called him since the trade.
- Mark says he thinks he did his job for 2 years.
- Overall I would say DeRosa was very disappointed.
I'm very sad that DeRosa is leaving and even more upset after listening to Mark talk to Kap.
Well, here's other Cubs rumors for today:
- The Cubs seem set to officially sign Milton Bradley in the coming weeks.
- The Tribune says that Ryan Dempster would welcome Bradley with open arms.
- Bruce Levine expects the Jason Marquis trade to be made official on Sunday or Monday.
- Levine thinks there is an 80% chance that the Peavy deal will get done.
- Players Bruce is hearing could be involved include Wellington Castillo, Jeff Stevens, Kevin Hart, and Josh Vitters.
- Kaplan mentioned on Sports Central last night that the Cubs are interested in signing Rich Aurillia to back up 1st and 3rd base.
- The Cardinals were prepared to offer Aaron Miles about the same as what he got with the Cubs but the more sincere interest by Cub management drew him to the Cubs.
I'll keep you posted.
