Posted June 20, 200717 yr Just reported by Buster Onley on Mike and Mike, no details on who the cubs got back. My only thought is...uh, Josh Bard? Why would the Padres want Barrett? edit: Here's a link: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2910079 doesn't have any info at the moment, but will probably updated as info is known.
June 20, 200717 yr per mlbtraderumors.com "In return, the Cubs received backup catcher Rob Bowen, a young outfielder named Kyler Burke, and cash considerations."
June 20, 200717 yr Getting into an argument with a number 4 or 5 starter is one thing but getting into a shoving match with your #1 starter? You better be Johnny freaking Bench if you want to pull that nonsense and a .256 BA isn't going to help your case.
June 20, 200717 yr Yep, just read it on espn.com . Thank god he didnt come here as many people rumored.
June 20, 200717 yr I would definately have traded Matt Treanor and a single A player that's hitting under .220 for Barrett if money wasn't an issue.
June 20, 200717 yr It's actually a relief that Barrett didn't end up with the Marls, as he's one of the select few that's actually worse than Olivo.
June 20, 200717 yr As a Cubs fan it's a little disappointing to see them not get a little more in return, but it's nice to see a trade finally happen when it was definitely inevitable.
