Chicago Cubs Online:
According to a report from Bruce Levine Sunday afternoon, "the team will most likely explore deals for outfielder Milton Bradley and starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano" this off-season.
Bob Nightengale from USA Today mentioned on ESPN 1000 Friday night that he could see the Cubs trading Milton Bradley to the Texas Rangers this winter, with the Cubs eating half of his remaining contract.
So are Milton Bradley and Carlos Zambrano's days on the North Side numbered?

According to MLBTR, Ken Rosenthal said the Cubs could trade Zambrano this offseason in a recent video on foxsports.net
I have to ask, who is running the team? Is it the media and fans or is it Tom Ricketts, Crane Kenney, and Jim Hendry? I’d like to think it’s the latter, but that would basically mean Ken Rosenthal is making **** up. That’s entirely possible...

Bruce Miles on the rumors the Cubs are shopping Carlos Zambrano:
Anyway, if the Cubs are indeed “shopping” Carlos Zambrano (and people in the Cubs’ baseball operations department say that information is not coming from them), they better be thinking things through.
First off, why would you want to trade Zambrano? Sure, he’s a knucklehead, but he’s been a pretty effective...

This season has been one of immense disappointment for the Chicago Cubs. They were expected to cruise to their third consecutive division title in what was perceived as a weak NL Central in 2009, but with a few weeks remaining in the season they find themselves 9.5 games behind the Cardinals and 6.5 games out of the wild card.Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano has had his part in failing to meet

MLBTR quotes the piece of **** Paul Sullivan who says the Cubs plan to shop Carlos Zambrano this winter. Ken Rosenthal reported this first so it does appear to be legitimate. I have no idea why the Cubs would do this. Zambrano is owed a lot of money and given the ****** economy, it’s not like they’re going to get a lot in return. I was asking myself the other day...

Steve Stone is a bitter old man who is blindly angry at his former employer because he believes he - and only he - can do every job in the organization better than anyone else.
We've seen this in his obsessive Tweeting about Milton Bradley (detailed here and here).
Bradley has had a tumultuous season to be sure, though Stone mostly hits him for his relatively modest RBI totals...

Yovani Gallardo (12-11, 3.59 ERA) vs. Carlos Zambrano (8-6, 3.77 ERA) Story Lines
The Cubs almost had a perfect night last night. They found a way to win without much office, the Giants lost, but the Cardinals out-slugged the Marlins (which wasn't all bad, since the Cubs trail the Marlins in the Wild Card).
The Cubs are 6.5 games back in the Wild Card with 20 games left. That...

Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star would like to hear Royals GM Dayton Moore admit he was wrong to think his team could contend this year.
