The 2010 Cubs Free Agent and Roster Moves Thread: SAVEENG OUR KUBBEEZ!!11

[Saul Goodman]

Since apparently the season is over, have at it.

Could Harden stay healthy enough to make signing him worth it?  He's been a beast down the stretch.

Second half, in 6 starts: 2-1, 1.95 ERA, 37 IP, 19 H, 11 BB, 47 SO, 0.81 WHIP, 11.4 SO/9

I can't wait for another offseason of Miguel Tejada to my kubbeez talk.

Mark Prior (28)

With Lilly and Lee in contract years in 2010, I'm sure they could be coaxed to waive their clauses in exchange for contract extensions.  That is, if your goal is dismantling the team.

The others are not going anywhere.

[Dave B]

That's the point. They can't go anywhere, so trading isn't an option.

Yes, according to Cot's Baseball Contracts, which is usually pretty reliable.

[Dave B]

Cubs free agents are Harden, Gregg, Reed Johnson, and Grabow. They also have about $2.6 million coming off for what they were on the hook for Marquis, Bako, and Gaudin, but it looks like they owe Luis Vizcaino abot half-a-mil. 

[Ghost of Dave Rosello]

Looks like Heilman is free after this year as well. Let him and Gregg walk for sure.

Aaron fucking Miles is making $4.9MM over two years?  I'm getting FDB-type apoplectic looking at that.

Hey, teams were clamoring for his services this winter. Had to sweeten the pot to close the deal...
