Mark Berman just reported that MLB sources say the team making a run at Randy is none other than the sCrUBS. Arizona better be getting back some big time players... major league ready players!! God, I hope this doesn't happen. I'm one of those who still thinks the Astros have a run in them. BTW, the run has begun!!
wow. If the Cubs land Johnson, then they end up with a sick rotation when everyone is healthy. Johnson/Prior/Wood/Zambrano/Maddux or Clement It would be hard to catch them for the WC.
well, if the cubs made the playoffs and johnson, prior, and wood were all healthy, we could put the "curse" theory to the test once and for all. because only a curse could stop that rotation trio from winning the world series.
Do you really want to tempt fate? How much more proof do you need? They were up 3 games to 1 in the NLCS last year, with Zambrano, Prior and Wood set to go, with two games at Wrigley... all against an NL wild-card team with marginal power, and only 1 lights-out starter., And... this was BEFORE the whole Bartman/8th inning meltdown. There IS a curse... lets face it.... and enjoy it.
If you watched game six of NLCS last year, you KNOW that there is a curse on the Cubbies. It was one of the most unbelievable baseball games that I ever watched. I said before the season that the only team we need to worry about was the Cards because the Cubbies are, after all, the Cubbies. I think that they haven't had back-to-back winning seasons for a long time...and it's not going to change this year.
I'm not hearing any confirmation of this anywhere. I'm hearing that Unit is turning down opportunities to be traded to LA, though...saying it's New York only. My bet is he'll still be a Diamondback at the end of the season.
he's going to the yankees...if anywhere...because the yankees are also going to take Alomar's contract
There is a possiblity that, since the Yanks have nothing to give up in the way of prospects, it would be a 3 way deal with Pittsburgh. Pitt would send a prospect or 2 with Kris Benson to AZ, Unit to NY, and someone from NY to Pitt. This was being talked about on Dan Patrick earlier today.
They also said it would be a 3 way with the Padres too...with Finley going there, and Unit, Alomar and Mantei coming to NY and Zona getting a ton of kids
