It weird as a Cubs fan to see them trade off a fading star. They are usually the team to sign them to big money contract. :lol

But yes Sammy will not be missed by this guy.

No, no, he was the RED SOX cancer, not the Cubs cancer. He's alright on the cubbies!

Yeah, the Cubs went much farther into the playoffs with him on the roster.

Who will replace Sosa though? Sure Sosa isn't what he used to be but he still is a solid hitter. There aren't many options left on the market to fill his slot. Maggs looks to go to the Tigers or Blue Jays.

Maybe they will trade for Mike Cameron???

Why would the Mets trade Mike Cameron at this point? They have no alternatives to him and Ordonez has an absolutely obliterated knee - he had to leave the country for his experimental knee surgery. Unless the Cubs have the rumored deal for Aubrey Huff in place, they just made an already thin outfielder much worse. The Cubs blew it last year because of injuries and a September choke job, not because Sosa is a big meanie.

This is what I saw on Gamecast all of last year

Strike 1- looking
Strike 2- looking
Strike 3- Swinging

Sosa strands 2 base runners.

He didnt even draw walks either.
