Did I miss this? The Cubs wanted Dye to be our RF?
The following is from Fox Sports:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Brewers can't make successful match with Dye — 1:55 p.m.
The Brewers made a run at free-agent outfielder Jermaine Dye within the past week, but the talks failed to produce an agreement, major-league sources say.
If the Brewers had signed Dye, they would have traded another of their outfielders, most likely right fielder Corey Hart, to clear both money and playing time.
The Brewers and Nationals are believed to have discussed Hart. The Nats, who have been looking for a right fielder since releasing Elijah Dukes, also have been linked to Dye.
<b>Dye, 36, said earlier this offseason that he turned down a one-year, $3 million offer from the Cubs, who instead signed another free-agent outfielder, Xavier Nady, for $3.3 million.</b>
The reason for the impasse between Dye and the Brewers is not known. But the Brewers are not happy with Hart, 28, who will earn $4.8 million this season.
Manager Ken Macha told reporters Tuesday that <b>Jim Edmonds, a left-handed hitter, could be his Opening Day</b> right fielder against Rockies right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
