Way out of it? That trade was in 2002, and as of the trade deadline in 2002 they were leading the division by 5 games. That was a classic buy from a buying team and has no relevence to the Cubs current situation. The main point that he and others are trying to make, though, is that the Cubs should never really be unloading. Given their payroll and market, they should always be looking to reload. If Abreu is available, Hendry should be inquiring because Abreu is better than any FA available this coming winter. I completely disagree, this year they NEED to unload...big time...
