New offer on the table to CI Wigginton, Ty, $3m (2010)RP Thornton, Matt, $1m (2011) to C-CI Walker, Neil, $0.5m (P-n/a)RP Gray, Jeff, $0.5m (P-n/a)6-4 PIT7-4 PITEssentially, the Cubs get younger at CI, and then receive a replacement reliever plus solid mid-round picks for Thornton.
I accept this new offer. Oakland and Cincy are right that I wasn't getting the right compensation. Brackman and Robertson, whom I acquired from the Yankees in the Fukudome deal may be keys to my pitching in the future. Gray is a throw-in replacement. Walker adds to the prospect mix at CI/C (he could still play catcher for the Bucs in the future). The picks are pretty good as well.
