Cubs Rumor Updates

Here's some info learned today on "Talking Baeball" with Bruce Levine and Jonathen Hood, and some other Cubs rumors.
  • Levine says that Zambrano will not pitch in the WBC.
  • Levine said that one of Jim's goals this off season has been to get Aaron Heilman.
  • Lou Piniella has be frustrated this off-season. He is talking about next years post-season, while Hendry stresses that we should focus on getting back there.
  • Bruce said that if the Cubs don't get Peavy, the Brian Roberts talks could be back on. (wasn't one winter of Roberts enough?)
  • The Cubs have not stopped trying to acquire Jake Peavy but the new owner will have to be in place, before they can move forward.
  • Jeff Samardzija wants to start and wants to avoid being sent to AAA. He is going to do everything he can this spring to earn his spot in the starting 5 according to the Tribune.
  • Again, the Hill to the O's trade has not officially been announced, but it should be made official this week. The Orioles need to make a spot on there 40-man roster for Rich.

Join me for my Cubs chat on Wednesday at 7:00 PM CT. I will start with answers at 7 but you can come in at 6:45 and it will be up to start asking questions. Remember we'll talk mostly Cubs and maybe a few Chicago Sports and other MLB questions. The Chat will pop up live right here on this blog!

I'll keep you posted.
