What should be our trade target?

[CCwinwssoon]

I loved what the Cubs did last year by acquiring Harden earlier and giving them an option to still deal by the deadline. 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

houston isn't going to trade with us.

He'd definitely help this team but Lou wants a balanced lineup and by adding Sanchez and benching Fontenot the lineup would get less left handed.

injured Valverde and Houston?<b> why?</b>

possibly Victor Martinez and Cleveland? (longshot) <b>I assume this is a joke and you are not serious.</b>

Anyone have any ideas?<b> I doubt there will be trades until the sale of the team is finalized.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Cleveland has already made it clear that Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez are untouchable.

A real shortstop (Although a "significant" upgrade would be difficult).

That would be perfect, but who's out there?
Many people on here have compared this year to '04, ironically when we got Nomar. I just don't see us getting anyone that is an upgrade, other than Michael Young. He's raking right now, and if Texas would do it, then sign me up.

He's been playing third base all year, and Texas is in first place.

I know that. But with Andrus at short, and the money left on his contract, they could move him. It's possible.

But why would they? He's pretty much the captain of that team, and they're in first place for the first time in what feels like forever. They should be doing everything possible to win that division. If they go in a slump the Angels get a commanding lead which I think is very possible, then sure, maybe he becomes available.
