Just saw this posted on a Red Sox forum (went there to see if they were whining over the Jays supposedly signing BJ Ryan).
WSCR 670 in Chicago is reporting that the Cubs are close to acquiring Juan Pierre from the Marlins for three prospects.
One would be left-hander Renyel Pinto. According to the report, center fielder Felix Pie wouldn't be involved. Another expendable reliever probably would be. Roberto Novoa or Jermaine Van Buren could help the Marlins.
Could it be? I hope so, and someone buy Patterson his El ticket out of town. And not giving up Pie is key. Nobody should ever give up a player with a name like Felix Pie.
