You would think the Marlins won it lthis year with the way they are selling off all their talent.

ESPN - Cubs, Fukudome reach preliminary deal, pending physical - MLB

There you go Cubbies...a power lefty who can play a good right field. I've only seen him in the WBC, but from what I saw he looks like a pretty good player. A very nice addition to a team that needed a right fielder and lefty bat.

Gordon Wittenmyer was saying today, that now that the Cubs have gotten their man in Fukudome that they are poised to go after Brian Roberts of the Orioles hard and that if the trade that went down today between the Astros and the Os shows anything its that the Os are eager to get young and load up on prospects. Makes you wonder what kind of deal the Cubs would put together to get Roberts. I don't know the Cubs minor leagues, so do any Cub fans here have any ideas of who could be packaged in a deal?? Maybe the Shark???

Haha, I can't blame him for opting to get as far away from philly as he can.
