Blockbuster Brewing

Went to go see the movie Manchurin Candidate instead of waiting around to see if the Cubs do anything. When I got back home i trolled the usual sports websites and saw the ESPN MLB section is saying that Nomar Garciaparra will be calling Wrigley Field home!

Nothing is official yet, but this looks like it could be announced any minute now!!

UPDATE: ESPN TV just announced Nomar Garciaparra is a Chicago Cub in a 4 team trade!! Details soon........Hell yeah!!!!

Update 2:

Shortstop Nomar Garciaparra is heading to the Cubs in a blockbuster trade that also involved Expos shortstop Orlando Cabrera.
The Expos originally sent Cabrera to the Cubs for shortstop Alex Gonzalez, third baseman Brendan Harris and Class AAA righthander Francis Beltran -- a trade that was the precursor to a four-team blockbuster that would send Garciaparra to the Cubs.

In other parts of the deal not yet confirmed, righthander Derek Lowe could be headed to the Twins.

If all parts of the deal go through, the Red Sox could end up with Cabrera and Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz.

In addition, Dodgers outfielder Dave Roberts told Fox Sports Net that he has been traded to the Red Sox.
