Cubs have interest in Kotsay
andrew9991 replied to andrew9991's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
In his most recent article on ESPN, Peter Gammons says: Beane will trade Mark Kotsay to the Cubs or the Yankees in the right deal if a contract extension doesn't get done with Kotsay; Nick Swisher could play center field, Daric Barton (batting .470 since May 1 in the Class A California League at age 19) has convinced the A's people he can play the outfield, this year's No. 1 pick Cliff Pennington, a shortstop, is going to come fast and Andre Ethier could be in the Oakland outfield by midseason 2006. Two prime prospects might give Oakland another five-year run, especially if left-handed pitcher Dan Meyer's shoulder comes around. -

Yeah, I just read that myself. Based on what Rosenthal said, he kind of makes the Cubs sound like the favorites (if they really want him). Should be interesting. -
In Buster Olney's lastest chat on ESPN, he mentions that (along with the Yankees) the Cubs are in on the Kotsay talks. Billy Beane seems to like Kotsay a lot so I would imagine he would ask for a good deal of talent in return. Kotsay would help the top of the lineup but I'm still hoping for Dunn.
