Cubs close deal for Rays Garza


Good deal for the Cubs IMO. They didn't give up any important pieces for next year and the top prospects are still in place. A younger, fresher armed version of Carlos Z. with a better temperament. If those two are firing on all cylinders, the Cubs have the makings of a solid top of the rotation.

According to ESPN.com

The Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs have agreed to a multi-player deal that will bring right-handed pitcher Matt Garza to Chicago, according to a major league source.

The deal, which has been agreed to pending physicals, sends right-handed pitcher Chris Archer, outfielder Brandon Guyer, catcher Robinson Chirinos, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and outfielder Sam Fuld to Tampa for Garza, a minor-league pitcher and a minor-league outfielder.
