Do you have a HawkeyeReport account or just see the Greenway picture up?

[DesMoinesCub]

Thanks Year...Please no Hendry bashing in your summary :D.

 

 

Good to see the Hawks are being represented here. :D

You aren't kidding.

 

Go Hawks. :D -- Good game tonight against UNI.

Uh, he just said the Cubs would love to have Adam Dunn. Said a lesser deal could be worked for Kearns.

 

Said they like Wilkinson from the Nats as well.

[wade]

Not interested in Soriano! Interest in Bradley, but concerned about temper, etc.

 

Forgot to say Pierre still a prime target.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

said Kearns would most likely be involved in a 3-way with Washington with Wilkerson coming to Chicago.

 

 

we're not interested in Soriano, who won't move to the OF and plays brutal defense.

[YearofDaCubs]

Levine said Furcal contract was 5/47 but to get the 5th he had to play at least 200 games first two years. So Hendry didnt even offer 10mil to him.

 

Cubs have face to face meetings with Marlins for Pierre today. Will take 2-3 minor league pitchers. 8 teams in Pierre mix.

WSox might get into the mix if they can easily match the deal.

 

WSox looking to sign Mueller or Graffinino and looking to trade Damaso Marte, but will look for another lefty reliever.

 

Cubs will not get involved in Damon. They are looking for young players or one year deal because they feel Pie will beready in 1 year.

 

Two scenarios for OF. They like Wilkerson, possibly Ryan Church. Will talk to Reds about Dunn or Kearns as a 3way trade to get Wilkerson possibly.

 

GM Meetings one day shorter than in the past. Hendry had 8-9 meetings yesterday have 7-8 today. Action end of the week or early next week.

 

Cubs like Bradley had talks with Dodgers. Small possibility

 

Cubs have no interest in Soriano because he won't play the OF.

 

Looking at Preston Wilson as well

 

Hendry said Prior and Z not going anywhere and Abreu or Burrell might be traded but the Cubs will approach if no other options left.

That post got progressively worse as I read.

:cheers:

Abreu would be good fit, but it would take probably too much to get him.

[Andy]

said Kearns would most likely be involved in a 3-way with Washington with Wilkerson coming to Chicago.

Do it.

[RynoRules]

I like that report. Interest in Wilkerson, Pierre, Bradley and Dunn; less in Kearns; none in Soriano.

 

May be I should not panic...

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

thank god. prior/zambrano for abreu isn't going to happen. hendry flat out said no.

[Blueheart05]

Not trading Prior or Z for Abreu

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I like that report. Interest in Wilkerson, Pierre, Bradley and Dunn; less in Kearns; none in Soriano.

yeah, this is sounding better. i'm not crazy on pierre, but with 8 teams in the mix for his services, we probably won't get him.

[E.J.]

Wow. That was the inside scoop. :roll:

 

Didn't tell us anything we didn't already know from reading this mornings papers.

Yeah, he actually led with the Pierre part and I forgot to put it in.

 

The tone of the Bradley talk was pretty good overall for anyone hoping that he's targeted.

Well, getting any of these players is going to be tough IMO. I am really surprised we didn't even offer Furcal 10mil.

Why not just keep Dunn?

I think it was "talk to the Reds about getting Dunn, less interest in Kearns, with possibility of using Kearns to get Wilkerson."
