Looks like Greg Maddux is leaving the Cubs to join his brother in Texas.

Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
Cubs are talking to Paul Maholm.
I guess they weren't kidding when they were talking about pitching depth.

Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
Apparently the Cubs are close to a trade that would send Sean Marshall to the Reds for Travis Wood and prospects.
Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
The prospects in the trade weren't anything too special. However, I still believe the Cubs won that deal.
In minor news, the Cubs signed Manny Corpas to a one year deal.
Who?... I kid. I doubt the salary for 2012 is anything substantial. Should provide some depth to the bullpen.
Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
Cubs won hands down. Involved in the trade was Dave Sappelt. The kid can flat out hit!
AAA Avg 2010: .324
AAA Avg 2011: .313
AAA OPS 2010: .365
ASS OPS 2011: .377
You got a GEM in that deal
Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
Yeah, he wasn't high in the the offer. Sappelt hit either over .500 or over .600 in spring last season
Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs
This is more of a "fixer upper", Andy Sonnanstine is now a Cub, maybe Theo can get him to eat.

Seeing some interesting tweets on Garza:
Quote:
As others are reporting, Garza trade talks are heating up.
#Cubs could make a move within 48 hours. Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees involved.
Quote:
#BlueJays and
#Tigers are seen as frontrunners for Garza as we come to the home stretch.
Quote:
#Cubs source tells me that he thinks a trade of Garza will happen within 24 hours. "Definitely gaining momentum" he said.
Quote:
Wouldn't specify what team but source said they are "down to a couple" I'm speculating the
#BlueJays #Tigers and
#Yankees are furthest along
Quote:
I keep hearing the
#Tigers in relation to Garza. As of now, that would be my guess.
Quote:
Source:
#Cubs want Jacob Turner, Andy Oliver and 2 position prospects for Garza from
#Tigers
Quote:
#Yankees are making a late, strong push for Garza according to sources.
#Cubs
All from @mlbinsidenews who broke the Pujols/Cuddyer/Beltran news
I fucking love it. Having those three teams pushing hard only means fantastic things for the Cubs farm system!
Losing Garza will sting a bit, as I have grown quite fond of the righty, but our farm needs this deal to happen.

Banuelos IS in the package being talked about for Garza, says a Cubs source. #Cubs #Yankees
Add in that one. This could get crazy here. Banuelos is a very solid prospect.
