Cubs seek to Spring Complex, So Long So, and More

Thanks to Bleed Cubbie Blue for this one, the Cubs have rejected HoHoKam Park's renovation plan. They are seeking a new facility in Mesa according to Spring Training Online.

City officials are abandoning the talk of the HoHoKam renovation in favor of a new field. The new facilities will most likely be on the west side closer to the airport. The Cubs can unite Fitch Park with HoHoKam, so that they don't have to train at one facility and play game at another. However, I don't see how they will be able to not use a second park, because it is needed for Minor Leauge Spring Training, the Arizona Instructional League, and extended Spring Training.

There is very little chance of the Cubs moving to Florida, but the Cubs are playing cities against each other for the best deal.

A few more Cub Notes on an October Saturday night:

• So Taguchi has been released by the Cubs, so the Cubs 40-man is at 39. This move has many Cubs fans saying so what?
• The Cubs also activated Chad Fox and Alfonso Soriano from the 15-day DL. Teams must have their 40-man roster finalized by November 20.
• Thanks to Chicago Cubs Online- Jon Heyman says Billy Wagner is a possibility for the Cubs this winter.
• The Cubs will interview Rudy Jaramillo early next week.
• Most moves will most likely wait until after Tom Ricketts is officially the owner of the Cubs.
• Neal Cotts isn't sure if the Cubs will non-tender him according to MLB Trade Rumors.
