Could he be available in the off-season? Could the Cubs afford him ( cost
in players in a trade)?

The Yankees don't trade for prospects, so some package with Pie isn't
going to cut it. It would almost certainly cost Zambrano. The Cubs
have to decide if they're ready to offer Zambrano $75 million for 5
years (similar numbers to Oswalt's new contract).

).

How about a trade even up for Ramirez? The way George S. feels now at
this moment about "E-Rod" he might just make that trade. At least the
Yanks would get a REAL third baseman.

Assuming, of course, that Ramirez doesn't opt out of his contract. Then the
Yankees could just sign him.

The price would be too high without enough return. We already have a
slugging 3Bman and there's not much difference in defense. Plus, the
Yankees would have to eat a lot of ARod's contract. I would be against it.

Let's see if Ramirez walks first, or explore ARod moving back to short for
the Cubs.
