January 5, 200917 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ According to ESPN Radio's Bruce Levine, the Cubs signed Milton Bradley to a three-year, $30MM deal. Bradley had a monster .321/.436/.563 line this year for the Rangers, but he spent only 165 innings in the field.
January 5, 200917 yr Author With Burrell going to TB and Bradley going to CHC, look for Giambi to return to the A's.
January 5, 200917 yr Left-handed, RFs with power are few and far between on the current market and it's a hole the Cubs needed to plug. With the vetting they do these days, the Cubs front office has to know something to give him a 3-year deal.

With the vetting they do these days, the Cubs front office has to know something to give him a 3-year deal. He's actually a switch hitter isn't he? I think it's a good move for the Cubs if he can stay healthy. I think Lou will be the perfect manager for Bradley.

January 5, 200917 yr And the Cubs have the money to play the odds, unlike most teams. True. He's had one good season in his career. I just think they could have gotten someone better for 10 million per year

January 5, 200917 yr Not a bad player, but I think they overpaid That's true of just about every FA signing these days.
January 5, 200917 yr True. He's had one good season in his career. I just think they could have gotten someone better for 10 million per yearWhat other left-handed RF with pop in the bat is out there for less than $10 million? It's not like the talent pool was deep. I think Adam Dunn would have been a better choice except he can't play RF.
January 5, 200917 yr Also: This is the first mulit-year deal of his career. Really? That's a shocker to me.
