Rumor (from poster who claimed to talk to Len): Zito a Cub?

[m4d]

Radio 710 in LA is reporting... (none of you believe me but..)

[RockTheIvy]

Hmmmm.

[YearofDaCubs]

710 is ESPN so if it's true it should hit the ESPN site shortly.

[Geech]

Can we get Len in here to confirm/deny?

[PieOnMyHands]

Who'd they give up?

[peoriachiefs]

what exactly are they reporting, ....details?

[foonatic]

ur right, we dont

Olney has a tidbit about the cubs in the discussion of zito:

 

Where does Zito land? The Dodgers have good prospects to offer, and so does Texas; the Rangers want Zito, and Beane worries much less than other general managers about dealing within his division. The Yankees don't have the kind of prospects needed to get Zito right now; the Red Sox do. St. Louis could make a play. The Cubs have some talent to deal, if they wanted to make a play.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Why would Beane dish Zito this early? He's in a position of extreme advantage right now in that he doesn't have to deal Zito and there are tons of teams looking for starting pitching. If this is true, Hendry just got fleeced.

Yeah, why wouldn't he until he at least fielded offers at the Winter Meetings?

 

Pie!?

Cubs.com (I know, I know) has a thread that says CLTV annouced something about a Zito to the Cubs trade being in the works on their sports show. I wonder if this is all bunk from the Phil Rogers column.

It probably is. ITI has a similar thread.

Same rumor posted on Cubs.com, but posters there are bashing the author, claiming that he made the claims last night, only it was ESPN radio in Hawaii. In a post directed at the guy (enclave06) he is addressed as m4d.

 

Sounds like a hoax to me, folks.

Both coming from the same source. Hmmm.. I don't believe it.

I asked Rubby and here's what he said:

 

Rubby:Yo no sé. Neifi dice que él no ha oído nada acerca de Zito. Dirigiré fuera para algún Tequila. Permitiré que usted sepa si oigo algo más.
