Cubs Acquire Jeff Baker
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 2 at 8:41am CST]
The Cubs acquired Jeff Baker from the Rockies, according to Yahoo Sports. It's unclear what the Rockies will receive in exchange for the infielder. Baker, 28, has played in just 12 games this year for Colorado, but he posted a respectable .791 OPS in over 100 games last year. He's played all four corner positions in his five-year career, but he's played mostly at second base.

Pointless trade. Makes little sense and it doesn't help us.

I hope its for Miles or Freel. I gues it can't be for Miles since he is hurt.

Why not? Baker was on a rehab assignment.

I think there is a rule that says a player cannot be traded while he's on the DL. It's easy for Colorado because they can activite Baker and then trade him to us. Not so for the Cubs since Miles won't be eligible to come off the DL for another week. One way around the rule is to make the trade for a PTBNL.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the PTBNL can come from the same level (ie majors, AAA, AA, A) as the guy he is being traded for.
