MLB Trade Rumors: New York Mets & Chicago Cubs Trade

After the Chicago Cubs signed CF Marlon Byrd, word came out the team was in search of back-end rotation help along with bullpen assistance. I quipped the nothing exciting was happening unless the team found a way to unload the $54MM owed to SP Carlos Zambrano over the next three years.

So as I cleaned up the driveway of snow and slush, I was listening to Talking Baseball Live podcast, and Paul Greco dropped real names in a potential trade. He gleaned this info through his Mets contacts at Baseball Digest Daily.

The rumored offer was Carlos Zambrano for 2B Luis Castillo, AAA OF Fernando martinez and a AA prospect.
