Man. That was a total surprise out of left field. I would have figured, as most, it was either go to the Mets or stay in Milwaukee. But the Cubs? Wow. It sucks. Congrats Craig for getting paid. Can't argue with that. But the Cubs? Really? It would be like Rodgers decided he didn't want to play for the Pack anymore, and instead of wanting a trade to the Jets, he wanted a trade to the Bears. For Counsell, it makes sense. The Cubs have a lot of talent, an owner willing to spend, and seem to be on the up and up. But it's a gut punch, no doubt.
