    According to a variety of reports, Matt Garza's Saturday night start was scouted by the Dodgers, Nationals, Red Sox, Rangers, Tigers, Orioles, Pirates and Blue Jays. It's likely he'll be dealt to one of those teams before he makes his next start. The Orioles and Tigers seem like long shots but the others are all viable options.



    The Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays remain the front-runners for a trade with Chicago, according to industry sources. The Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants have also expressed strong interest in the pitcher. The Cubs will be looking for pitching and run-producer prospects in return for Garza. The Rangers' Mike Olt would most likely be a part of any deal if Chicago and Texas agree on a trade.

    CHICAGO -- Many of the same teams that have had strong interest in Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Garza were on hand to watch his outing on Saturday night at Wrigley Field.

      I agree, but with the Cubs, does sense ever prevail? And is there some rule about signing a player you've traded in his FA year?

        Sori deal close to Yanks. Sveum confirms.



        Cubs would get a lower-tier pitching prospect if they finish the Soriano deal with the Yankees. They are waiting for his formal waiver.
