Brian Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 David Kaplan says he heard a Milton Bradley for Maggs swap is being talked about. Detroit wants Bradley at DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggs and Bradley are both having bad seasons. But this deal would help the Cubs tremendously. Bradley fits in perfectly in MoTown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Surely Maggs' option would vest. Are their contracts really all that different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 03:01 PM) Surely Maggs' option would vest. Are their contracts really all that different? Yeah, he'd get there with ease. He's only 146 PA away from guaranteeing himself $18M next year and if the trade were made today and he got 4 PA a game over the Cubs' final 67 games of the season he'd finish with 579 PA on the year, that means he'd need only 501 PA next year to guarantee himself another $15M in 2011. Bradley's due $21M in '10/'11, the $6.5M - $7.5M still due to Magglio this year and the $18M he'd make next year would lead to a net financial loss for the Cubs even while subtracting a year of salary (assuming no cash trades hands).

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Stone had this on his Twitter, and is now in a war of words with some guy from the Daily Herald who accuses Stone of making up the whole story In detroit for the series. Understand a guy named bruce miles believes that the whole bradley story was made up. Who is bruce miles. The giants need a hitter to make a run at the wildcard. Word out is that the nats nick johnson might fill their needs. Chase that down bruce LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) This was a dumb rumor it appears. Why would anybody want Bradley? He's another Jose Guillen. At least Maggs doesn't cause problems. Edited July 29, 2009 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sounds like a Cub fantasy trade. Cubs are like the NHL Maple Leafs...lots hype, players always want to play for them, they will get all the best deals, fans are ridiculous (in their own unique ways) and they have nothing to show for all their largesse.
