Cubs - Cardinals

[Cubs GM (Achille)]

Cubs Trade:
Jeff Samardzija - $2.64M (2013)

Cardinals Trade:
4th Rd 2013 MiLB
6th Rd 2013 MiLB
Anthony Garcia (100k - Prospect)
Greg Garcia (100k - Prospect)

Cap Changes:
Cubs Lose 2.44M
Cardinals Gain 2.44M

Accept. Samardzija has shown flashes but I believe he has control issues that will eventually expose him. At best he can be a 4th starter in my opinion and I don't trust him any higher then that so I am selling him now.

Jeff Samardzija to 25 man

I accept this deal, Samardzjia is a sub 4 ERA pitcher and he adds to an already deadly group of SP's. People often over value him even though he has only pitched around a high 3 ERA for his full seasons. At 28, I expect him to continue what he is doing and help me a lot.
