Troy Renck, Rockies beat writer, was on sports talk radio in Denver this morning and Spilborghs was a major topic. During the discussion, he mentioned that at the winter meetings "Lou Piniella would have given his right arm to have Spilborghs come and be the everyday centerfielder for the Cubs." Unfortunately, he didn't mention any Cubs players that may have been discussed as part of a trade. Still, I thought it was a somewhat interesting postscript to this question.

Well, now we know the answer...we offered Lou's right arm. I guess they wanted more. Lets throw in Sinnatro's gut.
