I personally could have done without Nomar, yes it's huge, but he's a free agent next season. That's a major problem.
Yes that is true, but so is Clement and he was in the original trade talk. If the Cubs had given up someone off their roster or had traded one of their blue chip prospects then i would have had a problem with the trade. The Cubs don’t negotiate contracts until after the season, but it sounds like they are very interested in bringing him back. If they do, then it just makes the trade that much better.

If the Cubs wanted a win-now kind of player, there was many better options, as he's been hurt, alot, and really not playing THAT well.
Who would you have preferred? And if it isn’t a SS where do you put him? SS was the Cubs greatest need. They were last in just about every offensive category for that position. Offensively, Nomar is exactly what the team needs. A person who doesn’t strikeout a lot, can hit for average and someone to put at the top of the lineup. Yes he has been hurt this season and I know the Cubs looked into it. I heard an interview with Hendry this morning and that question was asked of him. Short of testing Nomar themselves, (which they couldn’t do because of his contract with Boston) the Cubs doctors reviewed all his medical records and therapy and Hendry said that he would not have pulled the trigger if he felt that Nomar couldn’t contribute.
