Hopefully ownership deals won't hamper the Cubs but what would you like to see the CUbs try to trade with and who?

Pirates and Freddy Sanchez?

injured Valverde and Houston?

possibly Victor Martinez and Cleveland? (longshot)

Anyone have any ideas?

I still would like this team to have a true dominant ace but probably not at the expense of Vitters<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why would we trade for Victor?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I was trying to think of an out there trade to a team that was out of contention. A team that the Cubs have already dealt with.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
With that logic, Brian Roberts is on his way.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I certainly wouldn't complain but seeing as they have just signed Roberts to an extension I seriously doubt something that crazy would happen.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes. Surely Victor Martinez would be more of a modest move.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Relax Mogumbo. I said in my first post that it was a very long shot deal. The Indians are very much a team in trouble and Martinez is no spring chicken.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Do you honestly think that Victor Martinez is an option? If so, you are delusional. First of all, the Indians are not trading him. Secondly, we would have to move Lee BEFORE we made any move and no one wants Lee. Finally, he is only 30 years old, he is in his prime and he is batting almost .350 right now...we can't even afford him prospect wise.

Wow. I guess I have to be really specific with you two. Like I said before it is a long shot. Do I think it will happen. Probably not. Could it happen? Sure there's a chance.....a long shot. Would it be out of this world crazy for the Indians to trade Martinez? Not really when you look at the state of their team. Will it happen? No, it's a long shot.

Now, I tried to just put 3 trade ideas for the hell of it and those came off my head for the hell of it. I'll try to be more realistic with those in the future so I don't confuse you guys with phrases like <b>long shot</b>.

Sorry. I was thinking Mine That Bird.
