Hudson Could sign with the Cubs

• A few notes...
  
• Be sure to scroll back and look at all the posts from all weekend if you missed any. We had lots of good posts worth reading.
• Check out our new post Spring Training Preview: The Bullpen.
• No Chat this week, but we'll be back on Tuesday, February 24 at 7:00 CT to get ready for the first Spring Training game.

UPDATE

Thanks to Hot Stove Cubbies for bring this to my attention:

• Orlando Hudson could sign with the Cubs!
• Buster Only reports that he will likely sign a one year deal somewhere by the end of the week.
• The Cubs, White Sox, and Dodgers are the front runners, the Royals are a long shot.
• Hudson could be a sign and trade, working around the rule that says the Cubs would lose a first round draft pick for signing a Type A free agent. So the D-backs could resign Hudson, and then flop him to the Cubs. I'd rather see the Cubs just sign him and give up the pick.
• MLB Trade Rumors reports that Roy Halladay could be a mid-season trade candidate. The Cubs could have interest, especially if Harden or another starter goes down.

Other Updates...

• Lou will try Soriano in the middle of the order this year but he's still the main lead off guy.
• Cory Provus from WGN radio has been hired to team up with Bob Uecker on Brewers radio.
• Cory will do 3 innings of play-by-play with the Brewers.
• Luis Vizcaino has yet to report.
• The only position players who haven't reported yet are Aramis Ramirez, Derrek Lee, and Alfonso Soriano.
• Mike Fontenot, Aaron Miles, and Jake Fox all took grounders at 3rd base today. One of the guys will have to back up 3rd if the Cubs don't add a free agent.

I'll Update this posts or create a new post when I get more info.
