After the Rangers traded there 1B and who was a top spect in there system Jason Smoak to the M's today. The Rangers now need a 1B to replace him and they have "strong interest" in Cubs 1B/OF Xavier Nady. 1 reason they have a lot of interest is he is cheap and they will only have to pay 1.6M left on his contract. People think he will platoon with Chris Davis at 1B who was just called up. I do see this trade happening and in a couple of days. I think the Cubs will get a mid to low level spect for Nady. What do you guys thoughts?

Don't think they should go after him and just let Davis man 1B by himself. Davis mashed in his time back in AAA and I think he can come back up and give them a legit power bat with average D.

I agree because what was Smoak doing? Nothing so at least play him, he really can't do worse. But I want the Rangers to take him as I don't want him on the Cubs anymore.

Bruce Levine said he would be surprise if Nady in not traded to Texas in the next couple days. I have to agree with him.

You think so? I don't think Hoff plays good as a backup and needs to play on a regular day basis. I actually don't know who will be called up.

It should be someone who can play play 1B/RF and probably LF too.

Davis is a strikeout machine, but if Nady can get us a fringe prospect or even a decent prospect I'd be happy

Levine said the Cubs will get a High A or Double A prospect for him.

Unconfirm Rumor: The Texas Rangers will trade for Nady within the week for a mid level spect from High A or Double A. Just like Levine pointed out.
