By Ben Nicholson-Smith [September 24 at 12:48pm CST]
ESPN.com's Jayson Stark hears that the Cubs will likely try to move Milton Bradley for another "problem" player this offseason. Eric Byrnes, Pat Burrell and Bronson Arroyo haven't been discussed, but they are the kind of expensive player the Cubs might consider trading Bradley away for. There will likely be takers for the unpredictable outfielder, despite his year-long struggle in Chicago.
Stark hears that Bradley's teammate, Carlos Zambrano, is far less likely to be traded. Baseball men say the Cubs have never shown any interest in dealing the big righty, so he's likely to be their Opening Day starter once again in 2010.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So Sully made the whole thing up? Color me shocked.
As for Burrell, I'd make the deal, but I'm not sure he'd look too good in RF.

Byrnes would be the much better defensive player, but I would gladly take Burrell and his terrible defense over Byrnes and his sub .650 OPS.
