Zambrano's next start would have came on an off day, so the Cubs do not need to a call up a starting pitcher to take his place.
Also, Rich Harden is expected to be out for at least 3 more weeks!
The Cubs are losing key guys early on this year and it's not good!
Some Rumors:
- Heyman says that the Cubs "don't seem anxious to make a deal for Jake Peavy.
- Jim Hendry had this to say about trading Mark DeRosa, "Nobody likes losing a guy like DeRosa but there wasn't anywhere else to get left-handed, you know. And over time, I think we will see that we got pretty good guys for him. So we mixed and matched some of the dollars that were made with [DeRosa] and other guys who are not here, and added the guys that we did."
- According to Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus, the Cubs are 1 of 8 teams going after Dominican Miguel Angel Sano. He's a 15 year old Short Stop.
- The Braves are interested in bringing Mark DeRosa back to Atlanta.
- Even with the recent winning streak, the Padres are still planning on trading Peavy.
- The Cubs and Dodgers are Peavy's tier choices.
