Milton Bradley suspended by the Cubs

Ok, so lets make a deal with the Cubs, say Bradley for Guillen and Meche. Bradley is under contract for two years at $10 million a year, Guillen is under contract for $12 million next year and Gil Meche for 2 years $12 million each. Bradley could be a great DH and hit behind Billy, and we pick up $16 million in payroll flexability.

no

why replace one cancer with an even worse one? Plus Bradley hasn’t exactly been that great this season. Just write the Guillen deal off and a sign a AAAA talent and see what happens. If Meche can get healthy again, he might bring somebody useful in a trade.

NO WAY we bring in Bradley.

If the Cubs suspended him for the remainder of the season, that’s a biiiiig deal. It’s not just the comments he made, but the actions, and I’m sure he tried to kill their broadcasters at least once.

So the Royals wouldn't touch a player like this ?

I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.

Sounds like a 3/36 deal to me

I wouldn't hold this against Bradley

Lou Piniella is the manager who most deserves to be fired this offseason.

You know what?

I think Milton needs to see a psychiatrist, if he isn’t already. What you have here is obviously a player with special psychological needs, and what I see there isn’t so much a guy “criticizing an organization” so much as a guy who… wait for it…

How About Bradley

For Jacobs? He would mash RHP in the NL.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

This deal is tempting for one reason:

We could say goodbye to Ryan Lefebrebreer forever.

Who suggested Meche and Guillen straight up for Bradley

I’m pretty sure that the Royals should so that. Meche has been good, but has seen his best days. It also gets rid of $12M of worthlessness from the payroll. Like him or hate him, Milton Bradley is an outstanding hitter, and would have a better chance to stay healthy if he could hit well. Also, another good season at the plate in 2010 might make him a tempting trade target.
