My initial reaction to seeing that headline - Duh!
Of course Zambrano was on the trading block. The Cubs have had to deal with a lot of head-cases in the last couple of years, but Big Z may be the worst. At least Milton Bradley was just bad mouthing the fan base. Zambrano went after his own teammates. I can just imagine how the conversations went:
Hendry: Hey buddy! We've got a fantastic starting pitcher on the trade block that we're willing to deal!
Random GM: Really? We could use a lefty. What's your asking price for Lilly?
Hendry: Ted? Oh, no, that's not who I was talking about. I'm talking about Carlos.
Random GM: Zambrano?!? *click*
Yup, that's about how it went.
