究竟是卖不出去还是改变想法? Cubs 打算和 Garza 签长约
虽然昨天传出刚从 Cubs 手中拿到左杀 OF Scott Hairston 的 Nationals
有打算要 Matt Garza, 但状况似乎又有些改变.
In big switch, Cubs are now considering signing Garza long-term
In what could be a dramatic turnaround, the Cubs are now considering keeping
righthanded starter Matt Garza on the North Side of Chicago.
Cubs officials recently have broached such a possibility, and while a trade
still remains an option for Garza, for the first time in more than a year
there are discussions about possibly signing Garza long-term. It had been
presumed for weeks he would be traded for sure.
The Cubs could also trade Garza, then try to re-engage him in the winter,
another distinct possibility.
Garza is considered the top rental starter on the market, and while there's
still time to do a deal before the July 31 trade deadline, it is now far from
a certainty. Sources indicate the Cubs have been seeking a top prospect back
for Garza, and opposing general managers are very reluctant to part with
those type players.
Garza is 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA over his last four starts, all but obliterating
the physical concerns that had kept him out at the start of the season.
If Garza is indeed re-signed, this will be a disappointment to a plethora of
teams. The Rangers, Red Sox, Indians, Rockies, Giants, Padres, Nationals and
Cardinals are among teams that could be seeking a starting pitcher.
Garza and the Cubs had long-term discussions two springs ago that left
neither side with much hope a deal was in the offing. Chicago's one real area
of need is pitching, so that may have caused a re-evaluation.
If Garza stays with the Cubs, that could raise the value of available
starters such as John Danks and Jake Peavy from the cross-city White Sox, as
well as a few others. It is a very thing market, and Garza staying could
create a feeding frenzy for the few viable starting pitchers out there.
