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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
