Well, the deadline passed and it is uncertain what exactly went down on the South Side and the Cubs dumped some salary and acquired Blake DeWitt and two prospects for Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot.
Rumors were swirling about the Edwin Jackson acquisition by the White Sox and they turned out to be just that. Adam Dunn is still a National, Adam LaRoche is still a Diamondback, and Manny is still....Manny. Jackson will make his debut against his former squad tomorrow in a day-night doubleheader as the Sox will try to expand their one game lead on Minnesota. Something tells me if Kenny wants to make a waiver move, Kenny will make a waiver claim a la Alex Rios of last year.
The Cubs have thrown in the proverbial towel on this disappointing season as they dealt Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt, who went 3 for 4 in his debut in Cubbie Blue.I don't think Hendry has anything up his sleeve as far as making a drastic move to attempt to make an almost impossible comeback at this point. The only dramatic comeback Cubs fans may witness is having Hendry as a GM next year.
But, what else can you say at this point. Only time will tell. Tune in to Last Call Sports this Thursday as we will cover it all for you. Niemi getting told no, Sox, Cubs, a couple Bears injuries at training camp, and of course Airing of the Grievances.
