The Brewers have gone out and picked up one of the second baseman I have been keeping my eye on for the Cubs to grab. The Brewers gave up some minor leaguers for the Diamondbacks' Felipe Lopez. This could be a good thing for us Cub fans though. Last year, the C.C. Sabathia trade forced Jim Hendry to acquire Rich Harden as fast as he could. I'm predicting the Cubs go after Freddy Sanchez.
Sanchez gave a firm "no" to the offer the Pirates just offered him so now it looks like him and Wilson are headed to the trading block. Since Sanchez has a steep option for next year, expect the Pirates to be trading him at a very low cost. A lot might consider the $8 million option Sanchez is practically guaranteed for next year a hurdle for Jim Hendry to get by but the Pirates may be willing to send over some cash with the deal. Be prepared to hear the Giants as a team interested in Sanchez as they are also a team looking to strengthen their lineup.
