You are surprised that the Cubs didn't give up prospects to acquire a 33 year old player whose numbers have deteriorated and is a FA after next season? I'm not sure the Cubs would have had to give up prospects, considering all it took was a junkballer and a 25th guy /devil's advocate Even if we could have got him for say Coleman and DeWitt, I'd just assume put Vitters at 3rd, or if he's not ready by then, give Stewart another year. Every appearance of "just assume" should come with a three-day ban. Just mind blowing.
