Cubs agree with villanueva

We'll see.

[A New Era]

yeah right.

[gocubs2118]

If this means Villanueva AND Jackson, then I like it.

[COACH DUBB]

Will believe it when I see it on ESPN!

[COACH DUBB]

We need a leadoff hitter and a veteran catcher. I also want a trade for Porcello. If not sign Jackson

More reports.

[Brad IBCB]

Meh.

[KyleJRM]

Overrated but better than nothing.

[cubswin25]

Hopefully he agreed to be a swing man.

[gocubs2118]

I wonder what kind of a deal it is. If it's just a one year deal, I think that means we'll still be going after Jackson, at least I hope so.

[Fukudome]

I think this may back up what ABTY was saying. Garza might be in a little worse shape than we're all assuming. That is, if we're still in on Jackson.

[cubbiefan_est88]

If we get jackson our pitching is pretty decent. Add howell this is gonna be a solid staff.

[gocubs2118]

This also puts us more in a pickle on the 40 man. We were already at 40 even with the Schierholtz signing not official yet. Now we need to make two roster moves to get guys off.

[Fukudome]

More guys DFA'd? Or is there a trade brewing?

I hope we can unload Marmol/Sori for something decent.

[1908_Cubs]

Yaaaaay.
