I wonder, of course, what that limit is with respect to how much money the Cubs are will to eat. The Cubs can take back a contract but pay only a fixed amount of cash. New owner Tom Ricketts has set a limit for how much money the Cubs will include in a deal, one source says.
The Cubs remain confident that they can trade Bradley without assuming the vast majority of the $21 million remaining on his contract over the next two years. Multiple teams are in contact the Cubs about outfielder Milton Bradley, with one source saying, “You would be shocked at the level of interest.” But Ken Rosenthal has come along and blown that thinking apart.
