Jesse is at Wrigley, live on 670 now.

 

Mentioned rumor, said Cubs would take on "most of salary," then said Jones has not been told of trade, as of a "few minutes ago."

1 down..1 more to go.. Izzy your next

 

You forgot Eyre.

 

I'm glad Jones is gone, but it won't really help the team that much unless Hendry brings in someone decent for RF. As of now, the team is basically the same with or without Jacques, since he has been benched finally. I'd say they'd bring Murton up, but it is clear that they want a pitcher.

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

That's it? :shock:

 

That's awesome if true.

Cubs are also sending the Marlins a PTBNL, but that's per the Palm Beach Post.

 

The circumstances were more than a little fishy given past hoaxes on this site, but at this point it looks like I owe you an apology redsfan for being too rash. Good job.

It would be a better prospect if true.

As do I. My sincerest apologies sir.

I got the impression 670 was just reporting it because they knew of all the rumors flying out there. Just my feeling.

 

But if they are at Wrigley and can't get confirmation, and JJ is still there, probably in uni by now, there ain't no trade!

Props to our resident Reds fan for breaking the story here. =D>

 

Shame on some who were particularly hard on him. [-X

The Cubs must be sending them a decent PTBNL if all the Cubs are paying is $1mil of his salary.

Guilty as charged.

If only one million, then that would clear up about 6 or 7 million for this year and next.

 

Griffey is set to make 6 million next year(the rest is deferred)....interesting

Slightly off topic...but didn't we get 2-3 A ball pitchers last year in deadline trades? Scott Williamson was traded, someone else that I can't recall. Were any of those A ball arms worth anything?

 

Got Fabian Jiminez (out of the organization) and Joel Santo (doing ok at high-A, had a solid start for Daytona today) for Williamson. Got Adam Harben for Phil Nevin, he's out for the season with TJS. Got Jose Ceda for Todd Walker - he looked good but is in Mesa with a shoulder injury (no surgery).

 

ugh. Not a good track record there.

 

If Ceda can stay healthy, he's one to watch. Otherwise, yeah - but even at the time of the trade, the guys the Cubs got for Williamson didn't look that good.

too bad this didn't happen before the NSBB touney... maybe reds44 would get some more votes

 

yea right :wink:

 

He wasn't in the tourney. That was a cards fan.

I was in it, I was a 16 seed and got it handed to me. Oh well.

 

And for those of you who didn't believe me, oh well it happens. I'm sure you had fake rumors in the past, and I expected for people to be skeptical.

No, he was in the tourney, I remember that he lost by a huge margin. There was more than one non-Cub fan in the tourney.

 

EDIT: 5th place. Too wordy.

I thought the Cubs couldn't take on salary past his year.

Props on the scoop. Sorry for doubting you.

No, he was Raisin's 1st round matchup.
