Deadline names

[CarlosSilva]

I know its a bit early, but who do you see the Cubs targeting around July 31st?

 

[CubbieBlue]

A veteran reliever hopefully. Someone who can get the job done in the pen. I don't care who it is.

 

[CarlosSilva]

A reliever that could help the pen a lot, or a starter.

 

[USCChiFan]

A reliever and it'd nice if they could get someone who can swipe bases. I'd love Scott Downs or Jason Frasor, but the Blue Jays want top prospects for them...

 

[DewsSox79]

so i take it you guys want to buy and not sell and prepare this franchise for the future?

 

[Big Z]

Not sure if there'll be any cap space for a big name pickup. Don't be surprised to see a big name leave though, D-Lee probably the most likely.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

i agree

i think some player changes would be good

including as someone mentioned early a experienced reliever

 

[Jntg4]

They are going to trade Derrek Lee, John Grabow, Bob Howry, and Aramis Ramirez in a five team trade landing Greinke, McGehee, and Adrian Gonzalez as well as Frasor, duh!

That would be amazing but would never happen, lol.

 

[zwentland]

Hoping they will eye some better guys for the pen and maybe a third baseman. Knowing the Cubs, we'll save the money and move up some mediocre AAA guys

 

[daddies3angels]

hope they still in it around JULY

Heath Bell, Luke Gregerson and Jason Frasor sound like the mos likely as both teams won't be in the playoffs, And they have been mention for like ever now.
