Peavy Rumors, Ken Rosenthal interview, and an Aaron Miles story.

Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports was a guest on Sports Central with David Kaplan, and here's what he had to say:

  • Ken says a Peavy deal to the Cubs are at 10%.
  • He also thinks the Cubs will test the open market for a FA starter, but doesn't think they will pay big dollars. (so probably not Lowe.) But if ownership changes soon, then anything can happen.
  • Ken loves the Milton Bradley deal, but wonders if he can stay healthy. He also says the Fans will love his Fire and his OPS.
  • He also says the Brewers might get active soon, and the Cardinals might add some more pitching.
*********************************
The Cubs could make a trade (s) within the coming weeks, because of players on there roster who are out of options. (Not necessarily for a Peavy deal.) The rumors out there, that the Cubs are trying to move Soriano's contract, doesn't seem likely because of his overpaid contract, FNTC, and number of years left. Have comments about my thinking? Please comment and I'll respond!

********************************************************
In March 2000, during spring training with the Houston Astros Organization, Aaron Miles (now with the cubs) was held hostage at his motel for 30 minutes with a gun to his head for the majority of the time. His fellow teammates called the police, they came just in time. They were by the window and Miles seized the opportunity when the gunman momentarily moved the gun, when instantly Miles wrestled the gunman down to the ground and yelled for the police to get in. The police broke through the windows and shot the gunman 6 times to save Aaron Miles life.

  1. Is there any BIG splash that the Cards can get with a SP?

  2. They do have money to spend, but will only spend it if its a big team difference. Chris Carpenter will likely be there closer or bullpen arm. I see them waiting till end of the offseason to make there moves (like they did with kyle lohse).
