Chicago Tribune - The New York Mets are going to come after Carlos Zambrano, and they will hardly be alone. The Yankees and Red Sox could slot him into the spots that Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling currently fill. If Zambrano leaves, the Cubs would have money to spend but no safe bets to spend it on.

Not really surprising. All 3 have the money and all 3 are "spotlight" teams.

if we lose zambrano, we better somehow get santana and andruw jones.

i'm just sayin', mr. canning.

Yankees:

Wang

Mussina

Hughes

Petitte

Chamberlain

Kennedy

Red Sox:

Beckett

Matsuzaka

Buchholz

Wakefield

Lester

Neither one of them exactly needs help with their starting rotation.

I don't think Z is going anywhere.

He's gone. Hendry screwed this up, like he does everything else.

In other news, the sun is hot, water is wet and we need air to live.

No he isn't. He wants to stay with the Cubs and SOMEHOW they'll get it done.

Sure, except he isn't going to wait until our sale gets sorted out. We had our window and we blew it.

Whichever team he goes to will be my 2nd favorite team (unless of course he stays put).

Bote McBoteface · August 16, 2007

I can almost guarantee that Zambrano stays in the National League.

I can almost guarantee that Zambrano stays in the National League.

Unless he has developed a sentimental attachment to the Cubs, I'm pretty sure he's going to go where the price is right first, regardless of league.

Brian · August 16, 2007

Yeah I doubt he'd take less money so he can bat.

sporrer17 · August 16, 2007

Have you watched his ABs? He looks like he's more emotionally invested in his hitting than his pitching at times...

Mizzou · August 16, 2007

Yeah, there's no way Zambrano signs with an AL team.

The Yankees need Zambrano more than the Red Sox, but any team in the majors could make room for a #1 starter if they had the money.

well, the sale will get sorted out before the season ends and free agency begins, so unless zambrano plans on signing with another team illegally, the cubs still have their chance.

What if the AL team let him DH :)

Like re-signing Aramis? Or D-Lee? Or Kerry? Hendry has his faults, but he gets the players he wants re-signed. I realize this is a different situation with the impending sale, but I still think it gets done. Both sides want it to happen.

Have a seat, Neifi · August 16, 2007

I really doubt Hendry is at fault for this one. Seems as though they were close to agreeing upon something in the 5/85 or 5/90 range back in April, then all of a sudden it's caput. I have to believe the ownership situation played a factor in the Cobs not putting the pen to paper on this one, as both sides still seem keen to get this thing done per the discussed terms.

I agree. It'll get done. As you said, both sides want it to happen. Also, I'm usually of the cynical mind that money is all important for athletes, but I don't think Zambrano will move to the AL and give up batting.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Nobody here has the inside scoop on this.

SouthSideRyan · August 16, 2007

I'm with the majority that Z probably re-signs, and if he doesn't, he's definitely not going AL.

I don't think he'll resign with the Cubs. I do think he'll wait and see if the Cubs match the best offer he gets I just doen't think the Cubs will.

BleacherBadger · August 17, 2007

I've heard whispers that the Cubs signed Z tonite for 5/$90. Source is pretty legit. Not 100%, but if it's done, heard here first. If not, don't take my dignity, as has been done with other people who posted speculative information that ended up false.
