MLB: Steve Stone: Tigers Interested in Milton Bradley
- Thread starter CrossCyed
- Start date
I want to keep Bradley on the Cubs- have a feeling he is going to heat up. He is too good to stay in this slump
Man that new rosin bag is going to be sweet! Maybe we can get a couple new bats as well. Bradley has been breaking an absurd number of bats this year, we need reimbursed for those
Maybe maggs? I heard that name thrown out there bout month ago. My guess would be basically nothing of value inless its contract for contract or the Cubs would pay most of Bradley's contract
Might as well keep him and pay him to sit on the bench and PH rather than pay him to play on another team and get crap in return.

Two very solid baseball sources confirmed for me just moments ago that the Detroit Tigers are interested in Cubs RF Milton Bradley. They believe that Bradley would be a much better fit as a DH than as a right fielder and that he would mesh well with Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
Both sources say that the Tigers have scouted Bradley and are interested depending on how much of his contract the Cubs are willing to eat. Here is the remaining money left on Bradley's deal which depending on certain clauses has two more years left on it.
I believe that Bradley is a much better player than he has shown so far during his brief time in a Cubs uniform but I also believe that the Cubs would be better off trading him and starting over in right field. If he is moved it opens up all sorts of possibilities because then Lou Piniella could put Kosuke Fukudome back in his natural position of RF and platoon Sam Fuld and Reed Johnson in center. The Cubs could also make a run at Nationals outfielder Adam Dunn who is putting up big numbers on a last place team and is on the trading block but one scout who is here at the game today just told me that he would never want Dunn on his team because he does not think he is a winning type of player. He also told me that the Red Sox passed on signing Dunn because they were concerned how he would fit in the high pressure environment of Boston. The scout also said that defensively Dunn would be a horrific fit in right field at Wrigley.
I will be working my baseball sources for more on this rumor but if it is indeed true the Cubs need to make that deal ASAP!

There is no way that you trade Vitters for Dunn. and why would the Nats want him with Zimmerman locked in over there long term
Um, Vitters is still in A-ball I believe, plus you can always move a third baseman to first.
