How's this for reliable? Overheard in a Baseball Thinkfactory Cubs Game Chatter: according to a Bay Area radio station, the Cubs were getting close on a Sergio Mitre and Jason DuBois for Kotsay trade. The person who mentioned it heard it second hand, however. So I'm taking a second hand rumor from a public forum and broadcasting it on my blog. Have I really sunk this low? Let me just say, though, that if this rumor is true (it probably isn't) the Cubs are getting taken in the long run, but this will help them in the short run. I would do the trade, however, without question.
