Harden to Cubs

It looks like Harden and Gaudin are heading to the Cubs for 4 players. I suppose this helps Bill's chances with Mark losing a key SP, and it also makes me wish I had sat on my SPs a little longer. I think the market just went straight through the roof.

god damn it... why did the A's have to suck so bad this year?

Bedard will be next...

The A's didn't really suck that bad which is why it's a very interesting move for BB. They are only a few games back of the WC.

that is true. it's not like they are seattle. you'd think they would have at least waited to the deadline before packing it in. now they go from harden to a guy that was on his way to the bullpen in chicago. doesn't make any sense to me.

the only thing i can think is that they don't trust him to stay healthy for that long.

That really is the only explanation for the A's trade. Selling high before he has some sort of oblique strain that sidelines him for the next 6-8 weeks.
