Baseball Notebook: Report says Cubs claim Podsednik

Quote:

The Chicago Tribune, citing a major league source, reported on its Web site Friday that the Chicago Cubs claimed White Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik on waivers. The White Sox had two business days to work out a trade with the Cubs, simply let him go or pull him off waivers.

Pods had a 2.9M$ contract this year, about 1M$ owed and next year would be in his final year of arbitration.

If the Cubs can get him this would give Lou Piniella a kid who once wasn't good enough for him, an actual leadoff hitter and would continue to block some of their young talent. Its a bad idea, and so the Cubs will probably deal Pie for him.

CUBS IN BRIEF: Rumored deal for Podsednik dead :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Cubs

Looks like another waiver claim deal that isn't going to happen.

Sucks for Podsednik. As trades go, this one had the bonus attached of Pods not even having to give up his apartment.
