Buzz: Cubs want a CF, must move Milton First
According to FoxSports.com, the Cubs are looking for a center fielder, but first must trade OF Milton Bradley to determine how much they can spend on the free-agent market.
Mike Silva of NYBD wonders whether it would be worth it for the Mets to take on Bradley, in exchange for 2B Luis Castillo.
…like Ted Berg wrote about at Ted Quarters the other day, it’s pretty clear the Mets and Cubs are working to find a home for bradley, in a three-way deal that would send castillo to chicago… so, since the obvious solution would be to just swap the two players, and that hasn’t happened yet, with both GMs clearly looking for a third party, i think it’s safe to assume the Mets have no interest in bradley, otherwise he’d be on their team by now…
…i have no interest in bradley… he’s never played with any sort of emotional or physical consistency, and so, i have no idea what the Mets would be acquiring… i’d rather have castillo and his contract at second, than bradley and his contract in left, put it that way…
Castillo will earn $6 million each of the next two seasons, while Bradley is due $10 million each of the next two seasons.
