Actually my bigger point is that we as fans tend to act as if the Cubs exist in a vacuum. Where they can simply pick out whomever they want at whatever price they deem appropriate. There are lots of other teams who have the same needs as we do. So Sheets will probably have his pick of teams to sign with, and Hudson will probably draw interest from any number of teams.
Along those lines, if the Cubs are looking for relief help, I am puzzled as to why they let DJ Carrasco get away, as the Pirates signed him to a minor league contract. He would have fit the bill, I assume, and he was NOT in big demand.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I understand that the Cubs do not exist in a vacuum...what I don't understand is why they are never even mentioned in any Hudson rumors.
