Yeah, I'll believe when Garza is getting traded when Hoyer and Theo give him a Cleveland Steamer on the Dan Ryan.

ZOMG. Hoyer gave Garza a handjob at dinner....he MUST be trading him.

Well the list of teams dealing for Garza is getting smaller. The Yankees have flipped Jesus Montero for Michael Pineda. It is possible that this would put some pressure on the Jays to counter, but we lose the leverage of making the Jays keep Garza from going to the Yankees.

That's about what I thought they'd say. Depends now on whether they are serious or whether they are secretly desperate. My feeling is unchanged...the Cubs don't have to trade Garza for what he's actually worth, and can wait for one team to get panicky and overpay. Whether that team materializes is the real question.

One exec believes #Cubs more likely to move Matt Garza at the deadline than before Opening Day.

Just throwing that out there. Who knows what the Cubs will actually do.

It makes a lot more sense to wait until the deadline to trade Garza (if that indeed is the plan). Teams could suffer injuries or want to make a push for a postseason spot and his relatively light salary coupled with his ability to be retained until 2014 makes him attractive if a smaller market team wants to come into play for him.

I still think ultimately Garza ends up back in the AL. Detroit, Toronto, Texas and Boston will all be in play for him. All of those teams have nice prospects who'd be good to get in return.

He won't talk about it, though... So ... there may be something, but we just don't know.

Also, Cub beat writers have been very bad this Winter.

That's because Theo and Co are very tight lipped.
