Wow. This might make the Padres

divorce appear amicable.

Any unrealistic trades we can suggest? I’ll go first with a 1 for 1, Lou for Torre.

I'd like Kemp.

We can send them Aaron Miles.

I'm sure I could find room on the Cubs roster for any/all

of Furcal, Kemp, Ethier, Kershaw, or Broxton. Maybe they’ll take MB in return.

Kemp would be fantabulous.

On a more serious note, I was impressed with their young reliever Corey Wade in 2008. I guess he was injured or something this year.

Agreed - too bad it appears to be all or nothing.

A Padres looking fire sale to reduce payroll might be nice. At a minimum, the Dodgers wouldn’t be wild card contenders.

He had some shoulder trouble this year.

Torreitis, as it was. Joe does have a tendency to ride his horses in the pen until they break down – look at Scott Proctor and Bellisario this year. Wade suffered the same fate in 2009 after a strong 2008. Wade will never overpower anyone, but he’s a thinking man’s pitcher and would be a nice pickup.
