Ken Rosenthal Reporting Cubs Going Hard After Tejada...

[samhainn77]

I'd rather suck with Prior than with Tejada. That way, in two years after Hendry's been fired, we can at least build around a good pitching staff.

 

And what makes you think Prior won't bolt the second he hits free agency?

 

What makes you think that Tejada won't exercise his right to opt for free agency after he is traded?

 

Ignoring the fact that I feel that Prior is more valuable than Tejada straight up. 3 years of Prior is much more valuable than one year of Tejada.

And what makes you think he will? Besides, the Cubs have Prior under control through 2008. Tejada can demand a trade one year after being traded.

 

Because I've heard that Prior doesn't like the way that Dusty handles his pitchers.

 

Is is that unrealistic to think he might want to go to a team that ... you know, wins? I would if I were him.

Are you saying you think Dusty will be Cubs manager in 2008? Doubtful, unless he wins. I consider it doubtful Hendry will be here either, unless he......you know, wins. 8)

Solution: Dump Dusty after '06 = Keep Prior

 

It's so eeeeeeeeeeeasssy like 1-2-5-3.

[Flames24Rulz]

I can' t believe that I am saying this...but I would rather have Neifi playing with Prior pitching than Miggy playing and Rusch pitching...

 

please forgive me for that statement of Neifi playing - I am going to wash my mouth out now...

 

yeah i was going to post the same thing before i saw your post.

 

Please Jim, punch yourself in the head a few dozen times to wake you up from realizing what you are about to do.

Well, whatever happens, we're probably screwed. Trade Prior and we're giving away Walter Johnson. Keep him and we still can't score any runs.

Indeed. Dump Dusty right now. I apply the little known WWLD standard (What Would Lovie Do?) -- and he'd get rid of Dusty. It may not be as good as the WWCD (What Would Chuck Norris Do?) sidekick special, but it works. Edited December 23, 2005 by brinoch

Now you're just being greedy. But yes, the sooner the better. I'm simply stating that the contract will be up. If JH blows this team up he'll be gone and Theo will be at the top of my shortlist.

Mlbtraderumors.com says that Levine reported this as the deal:

 

Cubs receive Miguel Tejada and Erik Bedard for Mark Prior, Rich Hill, and Corey Patterson

 

I hadn't seen Patterson's name in there before, though it could have easily been missed in all the Prior threads.
