Trade Winds

ESPN 1000 in Chicago is reporting that the Red Sox have announced that they will trade Nomar Garciaparra before the trading deadline. They also report that the Crimson Hose are scouting the Cubs AA and AAA minor leagues for pitchers. The report ALSO states that any deal would have to include a major league infielder.

We know that A Gonz is on the block as 4 Chicago papers reported today in the Cabrera deal. How about A Gonz and Sergio Mitre for Nomar and a little cash? I don't give up a top prospect unless the BoSox provide enough cash to even out for Nomar's salary, which is double A Gonz's. Pony up $3 million (which allows the Cubs to make another deal) and the Sox can have Brownlie or Blasko.

19 days and ticking...

Bruce Levine is reporting that the names involved are Sergio Mitre and Francis Beltran. Where do I sign?
