Title: Trade rumor involving Cubs and Astros?
Post by: PSR on December 06, 2005, 02:55:09 pm
On CNN.com www.cnn.com (scroll all the way to the bottom of the front page) there is a link to a headline in the CNNSI section that says "Cubs and Astros talking blockbuster deal" but the article doesn't actually say anything about any possible Cubs-Astros deal, much less a blockbuster.

Anyone got anything on this one?

Maybe it's a misprint? The first story is about a Cubs/Phillies deal.  Maybe it shoulda been Cubs-Phillies?

The article leads by talking about Prior for Abreu, so I have to believe the headline was a typo, and they meanst Cubs and Phillies.

Maybe the Astros have something to do with this possible trade (mentioned further down that page)

Quote:

The Cubs' shopping list includes Devil Rays right fielder Aubrey Huff, shortstop Julio Lugo and center fielder Joey Gathright, all of whom might be included in a multiplayer deal.



So, maybe there's a 3 team deal with Stros/Cubs/D-Rays.

I mean, it's not like CNN to make a mistake . . . .
