According to Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald, Jim Hendry says there will be no fire sale.I read some things that people assume," Hendry said. "They use the word 'fire sale.' That's not going to happen. We're not interested in trading people at all that will be valuable to us moving forward. People like to float names of your better players, which makes no sense to trade. If we make moves, it will be designed to make us better for the future, and we still want see how we play the next month or so. Everybody thinks there's this big, automatic, 'You have to be a buyer or a seller or it's fire-sale time.' Well, we've got a lot of young people out there pitching and playing or some people who will be very productive for us a year from now that when you get ready to put together a team in the off-season, you certainly don't want to start out without them anyhow...We're certainly going to hold on to the people, no matter what, we feel will be major contributors down the road."
So those ideas about trading Soto or Marmol? You can probably throw them out the window. I think that's unfortunate as it appears the Cubs will try to build on the fly -- but for those hoping that the Cubs would go after a couple of free agents, this is probably a good sign. It indicates to me that anybody under contract will stay, and that could mean the Cubs are going to try and present themselves as a team a couple of pieces away from competing this offseason.
He also doesn't sound like a guy who's about to lose his job. He's talking about not trading anyone who will help us in the future, as if he'll be part of that future. There's a lot of speculation on Hendry's fate, but other than an occasional rumor, I haven't heard anything that convinces me he'll be fired. If that's Ricketts' plan, he hasn't tipped his hand at all -- even Hendry seems to assume he'll be here.
It will be interesting to watch...
