A-Ram on the way out?

SI's Jon Heyman's latest sasy the Cubs will not pick up Aramis' Ramirez's $16 million option (it can also vest if he's the league or LCS MVP). 

Heyman thinks that a fresh start next year would be best for A-Ram, who has just one home run, though he admitted a hamstring problem has been bothering him.


Biz in Big Apple?

Heyman points out that Carlos Zambrano was only throwing in the upper 80s in beating the Mets and the Cubs acknowledged what they call a very minor neck injury. 

He also speculates that if the Cubs don't get back into the race, he'd seem like a candidate for a trade-deadline deal. The Yankees have had interest in the past.

Spoke to Cubs coach Bobby Dernier tonight and he thinks we should see Brett Jackson up this summer. Dernier says Jackson's pinky injury is almost behind him.
