why would the Cubs want to trade and get an expensive starting pitcher like Park? If there is one position the Cubs do have some young/cheap talent, it is in starting pitching. Clement is almost certainly gone, but they have Guzman and Dempster and even Rusch is a possibility as a 5th starter. So the Cubs don't want to trade some team Sosa for an expensive starting pitcher. Maybe they would trade for a pricey 2nd baseman since I think Walker and Grudz. are both Free agents, but I think it makes more sense to get an experienced outfielder or a closer for Sosa. Seriously though, I don't think any team is going to want to take Sosa at this point due to his high salary and under-achieving performance the last couple of years.
