Sammy doesn't want a trade. His agent has said it, and he's said it, over and over, he is happy in Chicago, and he doesn't want to be traded.
The Cubs cannot "dump" his salary. If Sosa is moved, he is gaurenteed 18 million next year. Sammy won't be going anywhere. Simply because if he stays, it costs them less, and because no one wants to take on his ludicrious salary. The Cubs must sign Nomar, must move Clement (Yes, "Cubs" fans, anyone who is a true fan knows Angel Guzman is just waiting in the wings, and he's a bad mutha fucka!) and get Dusty Baker out of Chicago. I think part of Sammys attitude goes along with a dislike for Dusty, and it's obvious, the Cubs just do not give 110% every at bat, every time on the base path, they just do not give it all every day, day in, day out with Dusty at the helm.
I think the problem starts at the source (Matrix Parody?), Dusty needs an attitude check, and Sammy needs to show that all-star attitude, and give the Cubs that energy. Hopefully they get Beltran in there next year too.
Oh, and Sweeny for Sosa? That is by far one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. Pure speculation by some baseball "expert" I'm sure, but it makes zero sense, and doesn't solve anything.
