    Per Rosenthal's twitter:

    Sources: #Cubs talking to Pujols and Fielder. Story with @jonmorosi explains reasons both obvious and not. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Albert-Pujols-Prince-Fielder-Chicago-Cubs-pursuing-star-free-agents-112811 #MLB

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

    Cubs are talking to Paul Maholm.

    I guess they weren't kidding when they were talking about pitching depth.

    Apparently the Cubs are close to a trade that would send Sean Marshall to the Reds for Travis Wood and prospects.

    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.

    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

    I've been getting mixed reactions on the prospects. Some are high on Sappalt and some think he won't be anything more than a 4th OF.

    Other Cubs fans seem to be high on the 2B we got. Can't remember his name though.

    Yeah, he wasn't high in the the offer. Sappelt hit either over .500 or over .600 in spring last season

    This is more of a "fixer upper", Andy Sonnanstine is now a Cub, maybe Theo can get him to eat.

    Re: 11/12 Offseason: Fixing the Cubs

    Seeing some interesting tweets on Garza:

    As others are reporting, Garza trade talks are heating up. #Cubs could make a move within 48 hours. Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees involved.
    #BlueJays and #Tigers are seen as frontrunners for Garza as we come to the home stretch.
    #Cubs source tells me that he thinks a trade of Garza will happen within 24 hours. "Definitely gaining momentum" he said.
    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
    I keep hearing the #Tigers in relation to Garza. As of now, that would be my guess.
    Source: #Cubs want Jacob Turner, Andy Oliver and 2 position prospects for Garza from #Tigers
    #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.
