Cubs Speculation

The Cubs Post-Trade Rotation

It's pretty much just a matter of time before Ryan Dempster is dealt. Soon after Matt Garza will likely be forwarding his mail to a yet to be determind address, although I' not sold that one is etched in stone quite yet. I suppose there's even the possibility that Paul Maholm will get moved
to a team that is bored and feels the need for a guy they wouldn't use
in the postseason. But presume both (or all 3)are dealt, who will the Cubs sacrifice to the NL offenses the rest of the season?

That may be a faulty assumption on my part, but I assume the Ricketts would at the very least like to make the appearance of contending and with nearly $50M coming off the books and even more after 2012, no reason a savvy GM could not make things a lot more interesting, rather quickly.

Let me preface this with the explanation that this is intended more as a look at who may stay and who may go, then who will they try to bring in, although they'll certainly be some of that mixed in.
