Craig Monroe gets moved to Twins
2007-11-28 08:05:00 The man that played for the cubs this last season hs been moved to the Twins. Craig Monroe who has had a pretty decent time with the Cubs has not had enough chance to grow in his current plce with the Cubs. Craig Monroe is going to be traded for an unknow prospect that no one has ever heard of. This is a pretty decent risk but one that the5 Zoom(s)
Day 137 And Counting
2007-11-14 16:15:00 The Twins acquired OF Craig Monroe from the Cubs for a PTBNL. That PTBNL is dependent on the Twins signing Monroe for less than he made last season ($4.8MM). In addtion, it must be done prior to December 1st because Monroe is arbitration eligible and the Twins won't offer him the opportunity to increase his 2007 salary.The Yankees made a final 3Yr/$45MM offer to closer Mariano Rivera - and he did not immediately accept. I don't see any other team matching the money and years, but I will not say it is inconceivable.

Twins After Craig Monroe?
2007-11-13 17:12:00 UPDATE: The deal is official. This is odd: Joe Christensen reports that the Cubs may send Craig Monroe to the Twins for a player to be named later, perhaps today. For the Cubs, getting something for Monroe is gravy since they would non-tender him otherwise. I guess the Twins like the idea of Monroe on a one-year, $5MM commitment as opposed to the free agent options in left field. I wonder if any other non-tender candidates might be moved? Guys like Ben Broussard, Joe Crede, Morgan Ensberg, Kevin Mench, Mark Prior, Josh Towers, and Claudio Vargas are possibilities. showad();

Slumping OF Craig Monroe back in a pennant race; Tigers trade him to Cubs
2007-08-23 21:59:00 Craig Monroe quickly found himself back in a pennant race Thursday when the Detroit Tigers traded the slumping outfielder and cash to the Chicago Cubs for a player to be named. Despite hitting only .222 before Detroit designated him for assignment last Friday, Monroe was productive against left-handed pitching. That’s how Cubs manager Lou Piniella plans ...

Cubs Acquire Craig Monroe
2007-08-23 20:16:00 Today, the Cubs acquired outfielder Craig Monroe and cash considerations for a player to be named later. Monroe has approximately $1.06MM left on his contract for 2007. The 30 year-old outfielder enjoyed a career season in '06, smacking 28 homers and knocking in 92. As a right-handed hitter he's typically better off facing southpaws. It'd be nice to platoon him with Jacque Jones if he can handle center field. Monroe played eight games there last year and 33 the year before. More likely, he'll be employed in right field once Alfonso Soriano returns. Jake Fox seems to be the odd man out for the Cubs. The Cubs are hoping the change of scenery will coincide with a decent offensive rebound, similar to their Jason Kendall acquisition. Over in the AL, Monroe had been equally awful as Kendall (.222/.264/.373). Monroe isn't set to reach free agency until after the '08 season, though the Cubs could nontender him rather than pay the $5MM or...

Rosenthal's Latest: Damon, Glaus, Wells
2007-08-20 19:50:00 Ken Rosenthal has a new column up; here are some rumor-related points of interest. As you know, it doesn't make sense for the Yankees to keep both Bobby Abreu and Johnny Damon around for 2008. It's just not an efficent way to spend $29MM. Rosenthal says Damon would be open to waiving his no-trade clause, if the Yankees struck a deal with a team that fell under his 12-team protection. Damon is apparently open to regular playing time on teams not located on the West Coast. The White Sox, Phillies, Braves, or Astros might make sense, in my opinion. The Yanks' ability to pull an exercise-and-trade with Abreu's 2008 option is hindered by his full no-trade protection. Rosenthal believes the Blue Jays might aggressively shop Troy Glaus this winter. Glaus surprisingly cleared waivers recently. Glaus is holding all the cards - he has a full no-trade clause and a player option for 2009. The Rockies will pass on David Wells, but the Dodgers are sti...

Craig Monroe to Pirates?
2007-08-17 22:31:00 According to the Detroit Free Press Craig Monroe has cleared waivers and has been designated for assignment giving the Tigers 10 days to waive, trade or release Monroe. Detroit also optioned utility man Omar Infante to Triple-A Toledo. The Free Press points out "Some of the Tigers’ top prospects – including outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and right-hander Dallas Trahern – are not on the 40-man roster, and therefore could be traded at any time." The Post-Gazette, among others, has reported Jack Wilson has cleared waivers. Add up the two moves and the trade is coming within 10 days. Notes from ESPN: Monroe signed a one-year contract for $4,775,000 in the offseason, getting a raise from $2.8 million. The 30-year-old Monroe was hitting only .222 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs in 99 games. The left fielder had been recently sidelined because of the flu. BTW Take: It was rumored the original deal fell through when DL asked for Monroe as well as minor league prospect(s).&nb...
