Anibal Playing Chicago-Ball Update

Earlier I wrote about the Cubs pursuit of Anibal Sanchez.

MLB Trade Rumors has reported Sanchez will not make his decision tonight. They have received the information from a tweet by USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

It should be interesting to see when the pitcher will make his choice, along with what his choice is. He has already spent a year in Detroit, but the Cubs may have a better offer. I would love to have the addition of Sanchez to the Cubs. I can see him as a key player in strengthening our pitching.

We will just have to see what he does.

Anibal Almost Ready to Play Chicago-Ball

The Cubs are getting very close to making a deal with the free-agent pitcher Anibal Sanchez.

Sanchez, only 28, went 4 and 6 with a 3.74 ERA last year with the Tigers.

He has said that his choices of who he will be playing for next season have been narrowed down to the Tigers and Cubs. Currently, the Cubs have presented the best offer and Detroit is taking their last shot to top it, reports mlbtraderumors.com

The addition of Sanchez to the Cubs would only be one of many pitchers that the Cubs have thus far signed during the off-season.

We will see how this all pans out, and if the Cubs continue to strengthen their rotation.
