Fukodome to Cleveland ... now official.

MILWAUKEE -- The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians are close to a deal that will send outfielder Kosuke Fukudome to Cleveland, according to multiple major league sources. The Cubs will receive minor league outfielder Abner Abreu and right-handed pitcher Carlton Smith from the Indians.

I think they threw in Corey Patterson as a joke.

Looks like Braves are getting Michael Bourn. Not a right hitting outfielder like they wanted but Bourn can hit lefties well. Also, he has some speed and base stealing ability. Something the Braves can really use. They are lacking in the SB department.

Reporting Bourn for Jordan Schafer, Brett Oberholtzer, Paul Clemens, Juan Abreu...none of the big pitching prospects.

Finally a ligament leadoff hitter, who hits both sides well, just as good as Schafer in CF and leads the league in stolen bases. If it's finalized, I really like the move for the Braves, especially with Dan Uggla coming on and Moylan, McCann, Chipper returning during the month.

I wonder if Medlen will ever return this year. Don't want to rush him back at all but he was god for us last year. He could be a great help in the bullpen as well as Moylan.

When I first say this trade without seeing the players I thought where does this place Schafer at in the lineup. To me he could only hit 1 or 8.

Medlen had a set back from TJS and they shut him down for a while. He was scheduled to come back in October, but last I heard they may hold him out this year. Little surprised a RHP has not already been added to the pen.

I liked Jordan, but a move had to be made at this point. I'm just glad we still have all our young pitchers still on the team.

Yeah I heard he had a setback a couple of weeks ago but I also heard during a game a couple of days ago they planned on him pitching off a mound soon. I don't want to rush him back because he is a good pitcher.

EDIT: Just looking it up and they must have been talking about Moylan. I thought I heard Medlen. Moylan will start pitching off a mound today.

The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired shortstop Rafael Furcal from the Los Angeles for a minor league prospect, fortifying their infield.

St. Louis sent outfielder Alex Castellanos, who was playing at Double-A Springfield, to the Dodgers.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
