There haven't been as many rumors this winter circulating through Chicago about a Milton Bradley trade as most Cubs fans would probably like to hear. Which, in my opinion, isn't exactly that much of a surprise. All the drama that took place with Bradley in Chicago last season and the accompanying newspaper articles, columns and blog posts? Yeah, those get read outside of Chicago too. If

A few links to start the day... The NY Post's Bart Hubbuch reports that the rumored three-way deal involving Milton Bradley, Kevin Millwood and Luis Castillo "isn't happening because the Rangers aren't interested in giving up Millwood so easily."

The Cubs are one of the teams the Blue Jays have contacted regarding pitcher Roy Halladay.— Carrie Muskat Obviously the Jays like the Cubs prospects (Starlin Castro for sure) or they wouldn’t have contacted the Cubs. However, before Cubs fans start salivating at the prospect of the former Cy Young winner in the rotation with Ted Lilly, Carlos Zambrano, and Ryan Dempster, there’s...

- Muskat blogged that the Blue Jays contacted the Cubs about Roy Halladay. ...there's a catch. He's owed $15.75 million in 2010, and the Blue Jays want some of the Cubs' top prospects. No. 1, the team can't take on Halladay's salary. The Blue Jays apparently have a wish list and Milton Bradley is not on it. A player like highly regarded shortstop Starlin Castro most likely is, and the Cubs don't want...

Chicago would receive second baseman Luis Castillo from the Mets as their reward for shedding the malcontent, with Kevin Millwood heading to the Big Apple to complete the trade. This has been debunked by several sources, such as MLB Trade...

The ever-prescient Paul Sullivan uncovers the stunning truth that spending large amounts of money on some players limits the amount of money you can spend on other players in an environment in which you don’t have unlimited resources.
