This should help the value for Garza.

That's great news, but Garza needs to pitch Monday, that's what'll help his value.

At this point, who all is on the market though? Greinke, Johnson, Shields, Kennedy maybe, Liriano, Vargas, anyone else our guys are up against?

I love how the fact that another great pitcher won't be available in the offseason is good news for us because now we can trade our best pitcher.

It is, when you understand the Cubs weren't signing him anyway.

Not with 2 Maholms it won't.

Luckily we've been able to see what that looks like this year.
