Is Hendry bluffing?

[AAApittsburgh]

When he traded for Aramis Ramirez two years ago, Hendry traded for a guy he felt could stay in the organization beyond 2003.

 

When he traded for Nomar Garciaparra last year, Hendry traded for a guy he felt he could re-sign and keep for longer than just 2004.

 

If Hendry makes a trade, it'll be for a guy who can help out not only this year but next year, too.

 

I think Adam Dunn is not a guy whom the Cubs can easily keep beyond this year, so I think the odds are against the Cubs getting him.

Cubs will have plenty of money to keep Dunn around if they were to get him.

Why would Dunn be someone we couldn't keep beyond this year? He's not eligible for free agency until after the 2007 season. I think it's pretty ridiculous to think that we couldn't keep Dunn at least that long.

I'll never understand why people always assume we're going to lose players all the time. We aren't a small-market team here. If we (er, the Cubs) want to keep a player, we will. Ala D-Lee, Nomar, Sammy, Walker, ARam, Wood, and on and on.

 

 

This isn't 1992 and Greg Maddux anymore.

 

Plus, like everyone else said, Dunn isn't a free agent for another couple years.
