A bunch of less than stellar sources are mentioning the Cubs/White Sox were talking lefties in the pen.

Avilan wouldn't be terrible--he's been better than his ERA this year. But I can't imagine every source sat on Giambrone for Avilan for 3 hours after the agreement was close enough to pull Giambrone from a game.

Giambrone probably needed to go to the bathroom so he was removed from the game.

Giambrione pulled because of hamstring injury

I'm thinking Giambrone and Ayala are probably enough to get Harper or DeGrom but probably not both of them.

Must've been an emotional injury.

I hope we find out that Giambrone was hugging his teammates after he came out of the game just to mess with Twitter.

Trying to think of who else might be a target.  We're the guys Tampa was saying they wanted for Archer were ML ready like Almora and Happ?

How bout A-Rod telling the truth about Darvish tonight?

A-Rod commented and said “things are not good in the clubhouse” regarding Darvish not contributing to the team.

It would be nice if ARod had actually been in the Cubs clubhouse. I took that as ARod projecting his views on the Cubs.

If Tommy LaStella can be accepted by the Cubs players after going AWOL, I don’t think Darvish has a thing to worry about.

From MLBTradeRumors:

In an interview with Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Archer called the trade chatter surrounding him “unsettling.” Topkin again notes that the industry sense is that Tampa Bay is more willing than ever to trade Archer, and he adds that a young catcher and a power-hitting outfield prospect would be “a good start” to a package from the Rays’ vantage point.

If the Cubs really wanted Archer and that's what the Rays want, I think a package headed by Happ/Caratini is very competitive. But I don't think the Cubs will go after an expensive starter.

Maddon dismisses ARod's comments as nonsense (from Jesse Rogers):

Joe Maddon responded to comments made on the ESPN broadcast Sunday night regarding Yu Darvish and issues people within the club may have with his injury situation.: "We know that there is an injury there. We support his recovery. Everybody in there does and everybody in the coach's room does, also, throughout the organization. It's unfortunate that it was relayed that way but that is not true."

I just think you mean A-Rod being a total douche and talking out of his ass as usual.

ARod was speaking hypothetically when he said that. He wasn’t talking specifically about Darvish and the Cubs.
