The Marquis deal is a done deal according to the Denver Post or some Denver newspaper anyway....We're supposedly sending a mill back in the deal, saving us 5 mill total......


And Levine also said the Peavy deal is back on and DeRosa could be dealt within the next 3 days.....

Believe any of this? No fucking clue, but it's out there anyway........Hopefully, he's right about something for once.

I don't follow on the DeRosa part....

Is it part of the Peavy thing?

I hope some of this turns out to be true.

Yes, that is what he said.

MLB Homeplate is getting ready to report some breaking news. I will stay on to see what they say.

Wait DeRosa? Fuck me.

MLB Homeplate is also now reporting that the Cubs have dealt Marquis to the Rockies.

Marquis and $1 million going to the Rockies.

I think Bradley is a great signing *IF* we have DeRosa to cover for his ass in RF during injuries while Fontenot plays 2B. I don't like it as much if DeRo is gone.

Still, I would love Peavy not just for this year but for long term. I still doubt it happens though.

The Rockies are going to swap a relief bust for rotation depth.
The Rockies and Cubs have agreed in principle on a deal that would send Luis Vizcaino to Chicago for starter Jason Marquis, according to multiple baseball sources.
The deal, first reported by ESPN, likely won’t become official until next week. The Rockies made the math work to get a starter they have coveted for a month, while removing a setupman who asked to be dealt at season’s end after expressing unhappiness with his role.
The Rockies will ship the $4 million remaining on Vizcaino’s deal for the $9.875 million left on Marquis’ contract. The Cubs are expected to eat around a $1 million on Marquis’ contract, leaving the Rockies to pay approximately $5 million for one season of the right-hander.
Chicago, meanwhile, still nets a $5 million savings, crystallizing the motivation for both clubs.
