Olney: Cubs shopping Eyre

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm fairly certain Eyre isn't on the club come September. I'm guessing waiver wire trade.

Is there any chance he fetches us a draft pick? If thats the case, why would you DFA him?

He won't net the Cubs a pick. It's too likely that he'd accept arbitration if it were offered.

Please get rid of this bum.

 

Just DFA Eyre. He's in the last 2 months of his contract. So I think it is going to hurt the Cubs. If you can't get outs in a blowout, then you suck. You're Milwaukee Brewer bullpen bad.

 

Orrrrrrrrrrr you're a guy who has done very well this year but hasn't been used since coming off the DL due to his bullpen-[expletive] manager and just might be more than a tad rusty.

 

The fact that Lou is hesitant to use Eyre in game situation tells you alot. I ok with Marshall and Cotts as the lefties in the pen for the remainder of the season. No need to carry another pitcher if he isn't going to be used.
