Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Halladay, Bradley
- Muskat blogged that the Blue Jays contacted the Cubs about Roy Halladay.
...there's a catch. He's owed $15.75 million in 2010, and the Blue Jays want some of the Cubs' top prospects. No. 1, the team can't take on Halladay's salary. The Blue Jays apparently have a wish list and Milton Bradley is not on it. A player like highly regarded shortstop Starlin Castro most likely is, and the Cubs don't want to part with him, especially since they might only have Halladay for one year.
A good time to show your committment to winning Ricketts family - we're all counting on you.
- Phil Rogers tried to sell a 3-way trade of Luis Castillo to the Cubs, Kevin Millwood to the Mets and Milton Bradley to the Rangers. It was quickly shot down though by the Cubs and Rangers.
- Carlos Marmol claimed the Cubs were pursuing Pedro Martinez, but the Cubs shot down that as well.
- John Grabow's deal is official, 2/7.5M. A report from Bruce Levine said it would go up by a million in the second year, so that makes it $3.25M in 2010 and $4.25M in 2011 if that ends up being the case. Also should note that Grabow's been dealing with bone chips as well for the last three years. I'm sure that won't bite the Cubs in the ass.
- Last day to enter the TCR Free Agent Frenzy contest, I'll shut it down sometime this weekend.
