With Peralta blocking the position, could Asdrubal Cabrera be had from the Indians? Also, here's a list of trade bait with major league experience the Cubs could conceivably part with in the offseason without losing much, if anything, who could interest other teams: Sean Marshall Jason Marquis (crappy pitching market) Jacque Jones (contract year) Matt Murton Ryan Dempster (contract year) Sean Gallagher Kevin Hart Juan Mateo Ryan Theriot (if a SS is available) Mark DeRosa (I'd rather not see him traded, but his contract and production would interest a lot of teams) Mark Prior (this would be selling reeeeeeeeeally low, though) Scott Eyre Michael Wuertz Most other guys on the roster either would not be easily replaced or would not be of much interest to other teams, imo. I think the Cubs have the goods to make a splash in the trade market, but we'll see.
