Cubs sign Aaron Miles per Levine

[cubsfan26]

Some interesting facts are mentioned in Derrick Goold's article about Aaron Miles' departure from St. Louis.

 

Apparently, the Cardinals were prepared to offer $4.3MM themselves - only $600,000 less than the Cubs. What drew Miles to Chicago, however, was a more sincere interest demonstrated by Cub management. As reported previously, the Cardinals waited until the last minute to give Miles their offer. Goold suggests that offer was delayed by dealings with Adam Kennedy.

St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa isn't thrilled that the Cardinals let Aaron Miles get away to the Cubs, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We took a big hit with Miles. ... This guy was really good for us. It was paining for him to leave us, and he left, and that's a tough loss," LaRussa said.

Only if the Cardinals pay the difference in salary. Miles is far too valuable a property to trade away willy-nilly. He does get a single 30% of the time after all.
