The Cubs, anxious to steal the winter and maybe the summer, too, are now pursuing star free-agent pitcher Jason Schmidt, SI.com has learned. The Cubs already have spent $239 million on free agents (including the $10 million they used for new manager Lou Piniella), and two high-ranking baseball people said they are bidding about $45 million over three years for Schmidt in attempt to lure him away from the West Coast.

Cubs GM Jim Hendry disputed the $45 million figure but didn't deny that the club was pursuing Schmidt.

I think Hendry can get this done. A rotation of Zambrano/Schmidt/Prior(healthy)/Hill/? would be downright scary.
