This would really piss me off. I know the guy finished poorly, but he was great before the injury, and not to mention he can start and be a solid middle reliever when healthy. I hope these douches at Rotoworld and Trib are just wildly speculating. I know $2+ million isn't chump change, but we're getting pretty thin in the relief dept and can't afford to just let guys go for nothing in return like this.

According to the Chicago Tribune, "it wouldn't be surprising if the Cubs non-tendered" Chad Gaudin next week.
Gaudin came to Chicago as part of the Rich Harden deal, but posted a 6.26 ERA in 27 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. Gaudin made $1.8 million last season and the Cubs may not be willing to give him a raise via arbitration, but as a 25-year-old with a 4.45 career ERA who can start or relieve he'd draw plenty of interest on the open market.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
