I think we all knew it all ready, but Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com have said out loud what we’ve all been thinking. According to the FoxSports Dynamic Duo: “The Cubs’ offseason truly will kick off only after they trade outfielder Milton Bradley. Only then can they begin, in earnest, their pursuit [...]

In a recent interview, ESPN Chicago’s Bruce Levine admitted that he may have “jumped the gun” when he said that a Milton Bradley trade would be announced in three or four days (a week or two ago).

A couple of days ago, I reported that the Detroit Tigers, in an attenpt to cut payroll, were listening to offers for Curtis Granderson (among others). Jim Hendry hasn’t spoken to Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski yet, but that hasn’t stopped the Granderson-to-the-Cubs buzz. So let me add to the insanity. If the Cubs are actually [...]

The Detroit Tigers need to shed payroll going into the 2010 season which Joel Sherman of the New York Post says could make Tigers’ center fielder Curtis Granderson available for trade. Granderson, who had two very good years in 2007 and 2008, had a down year offensively in 2009. He hit .249/.327/.453 in 631 ABs. [...]

The annual GM meetings got underway earlier this week in Chicago and all of the Cubs talk has centered around disgruntled outfielder Milton Bradley. The Cubs need a middle-of-the-order run producing bat, a center fielder, a lead-off hitter, a second baseman, and potentially a closer, but they can’t really turn their attention to those needs until [...]
