    Looks like the Cub's are willing to trade Mark Prior

    Cubs willing to trade Prior

    I dont know. Being a Cubs fan, I'd love for this guy to regain his form for the Cubs, but I'm just not sure thats ever gonna happen. I wonder what other teams could possibly be willing to offer for a guy as injury prone/mental as Prior is?

    I mean, I know established pitchers are gonna bring a premium this offseason, but what a risk trading anything of value away for this guy.

      This won't happen. Even if the Cubs trade Prior he'll tear his rotator cuff signing his new contract.

          I could see the Padres jumping in on this. He's one of the six+ starters they're interested in this offseason.

              I could also the Padres going after Prior. Also, the Rangers, Royals, Rays, Nationals and Blue Jays (Ricciardi said the Jays wanted a "reclomation project")

                This is news? I'd think the Cubs would be happy to get anything of value for Mark Prior at this point.

                  I'd take Prior as the 5th starter on the Indians any day.

                    Prior could either be very good or Mike Sirotka part Deux for any team that picks him up.

                    Personally I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

                      I hope that they're asking price isn't too high, for their sake. They'll be lucky to get a top prospect for him.

                        I would too. Problem is he will only be a 5th starter on paper, at the beginning of the year.

                          he'd be #2 on our team. and I'd gladly take him as long as the asking price isn't too high.

                            If we got a mid level prospect for the guy I would be extatic. The guy is a shell of his former self, before he was shelved he was hitting a whopping 84 on the radar gun .

                              Again, until Spring Training comes and he breaks a nail and ends up needing season ending finger surgery.
