According to UnderTheKnife, "A very good source has given us a bit of scoop regarding the Cubs and a potential trade. The Rangers have offered the Cubs Ivan Rodriguez and Gabe Kapler in return for Robert Machado, Jason Bere, Carlos Zambrano, and Todd Wellemeyer (currently in A-FSL). Obviously, the trade isn't hot since Pudge cannot be traded while on the DL and Kapler isn't a great fit for the Cubs, but Andy McPhail left discussions open."
Pudge isn't what he once was and is unlikely to be able to play anywhere near a full season again, but it wouldn't take much to improve on the offensive ineptitude of the Cubs catchers in recent history.
Can't wait to see the Cubbies call up Mark Prior.
