[edit] Rumored Deals Involving Chicago Cubs
[edit] 2008
The Cubs were rumored to be interested in outfielder Jeremy Hermida in their quest for a left-handed bat to play right field. There was also talk they might be interested in Scott Olsen before he was traded to the Washington Nationals.
[edit] 2007
On June 26th, Jacque Jones was nearly traded to the Florida Marlins as reported by Miami papers the Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and ESPN. The Cubs were potentially going to receive a Class-A pitcher, possibly Graham Taylor, and were going to pay as much as $6.1M of the $7.1M remaining on Jones's contract at one point. The deal was canceled for reasons unknown although speculation ranged from Jim Hendry saying he didn't feel the deal made sense[1] to the new Cubs owner vetoing the deal[2] to Major League Baseball not willing to approve that much cash going in the deal.
