MLB:
– The Chicago Cubs added a significant piece to their starting rotation Tuesday, acquiring Oakland A’s pitcher Rich Harden in a six-player swap that also netted the club Chad Gaudin.
– Speaking of the Cubs, Ryan Dempster continued his domination at Wrigley on Tuesday, striking out five and yielding just one earned run over 7.0 innings of work in Chicago’s 7-3 win over the Reds. Dempster is now a staggering 10-0 at home, although he’s yet to win a game on the road thus far.
– The Rays have dropped two in a row after being shutout by the Yankees, 5-0. Andy Pettitte won his 10th game of the year, allowing no runs off four hits in 8.0 innings of work. With the Red Sox’ 6-5 win over Minnesota, Tampa is just 3.0 games up on Boston in the AL East.
– Miguel Cabrera had himself quite a night, going 4 for 4 with two dingers, three RBI and two runs scored in the Tigers’ 9-2 thrashing of Cleveland. Ivan Rodriguez and Marcus Thames also homered for Detroit.
– SI cover jinx anyone? The Giants’ young phenom Tim Lincecum was 10-1 entering Tuesday night, but was roughed up by the Mets, allowing four runs on nine hits over six innings. New York shutout San Fran 7-0.
NFL:
– Brandon Marshall’s troubles continue. Apparently the Broncos’ receiver was ticketed by Denver police for more traffic violations in June.
– Plaxico Burress vows to be on time for Giants’ training camp.
The Cubs officially answered the Brewers’ recent acquisition of pitcher C.C. Sabathia by nabbing a quality starter of their own. Chicago acquired A’s pitchers Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin in exchange for RHP Sean Gallagher, OF Matt Murton, INF Eric Patterson and C Josh Donaldson.
The Cubs weren’t scared off by the fact that Harden has had six stints on the disabled list over the past three-plus seasons.
“Obviously there’s some risk involved,” Hendry told Chicago reporters. “He’s missed some time but he’s never had any surgery. We did extensive work with their doctors.”
Harden said he was excited about joining the Cubs but said his emotions were mixed.“I think it’ll be good,” Harden said. ” They’re a good team and they’ve got a chance to do something special. It’s tough leaving here at the same time. I’ve been here my whole career.”
Gaudin, expected to join Chicago’s bullpen, was less than thrilled in May when the A’s switched him from starting to relieving. He left McAfee Coliseum on Tuesday before reporters could find him for comment.
This was a tremendous move for the Cubs. Harden is a stud when healthy and Chicago sorely needed another arm in their rotation. Harden, Carlos Zambrano, Ryan Dempster and Ted Lilly make up a terrific starting four and certainly one that would allow them to make a deep postseason run if they continue to build on their first half success.
All the major media outlets are covering this unbelievable story in depth, so we here at Scores Report felt the responsibility to cover it too. Alex Rodriguez’s wife Cynthia has filed for divorce. Apparently it has something to do with Madonna.
You know what? Who gives a shit? I’m not going to spend any more words on this story. If you want the gritty details, you can get them anywhere. But I’m not even going to provide the links.
With C.C. Sabathia now in Milwaukee, the Cubs hope to make a play for A’s starter Rich Harden according to the Chicago Sun Times.
The Cubs’ pipe dream was ace left-hander C.C. Sabathia, but he’s headed from the Cleveland Indians to the Milwaukee Brewers in a deal that is expected to become official today. Deep down, the Cubs knew they didn’t have a package of young talent to compete with the Brewers’ offer. Still, this was a tough blow watching the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner go to the second-place — that’s right second-place — Brewers.
The Cubs have spent a lot of time on the phone recently with Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane trying to pry away right-hander Rich Harden. Expect the phone lines to start burning a little hotter beginning today.
Beane’s in a tough spot. This season was supposed to be about rebuilding — at least, that’s what he told us last winter after dealing pitcher Dan Haren to the Arizona Diamondbacks and outfielder Nick Swisher to the White Sox for a combined nine prospects, including five starting pitchers. Then the A’s — even after dropping two straight to the White Sox over the weekend — made a run in the watered-down AL West, sitting six games behind the fragile Los Angeles Angels.
Now seems like a bad time for Beane to pull the trigger, no matter how much the Cubs call.
Even though the article makes a good point that the A’s might not want to move Harden right now, this is what Billy Beane does – he makes moves. If he can acquire multiple prospects for one of his stars (even if the A’s are still in contention), Beane is going to pull the trigger. And there’s no doubt he Cubs are going to need a solid No. 2 to make a deep postseason run, but it’s going to come down to whether or not they have enough quality prospects to get a deal done.
