Get Bradley signed! Please! How's his character been? I'm not the biggest believer in clubhouse chemistry, but that guy is a stark raving nutcase. I hope he doesn't lose his cool, because I fear for anyone around him at that time. He's still a hot-head. But apparantly last year he became a better teammate and a clubhouse leader and was a mentor to Hamilton.
Levine said on ESPN2 that he wouldn't be surprised to see Bradley sign a 2-3 year deal worth $7-10 million per year with the Cubs. They have asked him about his health, he added.
Levine on ESPN: -says trade may not happen this week but still thinks it gets done -says to keep eye on Milton Bradley. Cubs are talking to him. Says Cubs are front-runner and wouldn't be surprised if they signed him to a 2 or 3 year deal for $7-10 million per. Cubs asked about his health.
Don't say I didn't tell you so when the Yankees surprisingly jump into the Peavy sweepstakes (but if they don't, please conveniently forget I said this) They're looking at Lowe, Sheets, and Burnett. I doubt they get involved. I hope.

Sports Center live just reported the Cubs are not close to getting Peavy, but named no sources that I heard. Probably just reporting Rosenthal's article
Fine by me. I just posted it without realizing how much it's been refuted. And yeah, Rosenthal seemed good last offseason but now he's not saying anything new or breaking.
Well at worst it seems that we should know the outcome by the end of the week. Of course Towers said he wanted a deal before Thanksgiving and that didn't happen.
