"Cliff Lee's five-year, $120 million signing with the Philadelphia Phillies will have a trickle down effect on teams like the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and the Chicago Cubs. Now that the Yankees and Rangers have swung and missed on Lee, they will come after the Tampa Bay Rays' Matt Garza with their good, young minor-league prospects. The Cubs, who have been waiting for the completion of the Lee deal, already have their young prospects on the table for Garza. Tampa wants pitching prospects, but the Rays also are insistent on getting back a shortstop of the future. The Rangers have two outstanding minor-league shortstops in Jurickson Profar and Luis Sardinas. The Cubs also have good middle infield prospects to offer, such as Ju-Hak Lee or Ryan Flaherty. The big question that remains to be answered is whether Texas, the Yankees or Angels will come looking for a starter like the Cubs' Carlos Zambrano after Garza is traded. At this point, the Cubs are not expecting to trade Zambrano, and they're not entertaining offers. He's expected to be at the top of their rotation, along with Ryan Dempster and possibly Garza. If not, the old rumors about Zambrano being moved are likely to resurface. First of all, Zambrano has 5-10 veto rights on any possible trade. That means the team must come to him before any deal is made and ask for permission. Zambrano has been adamant about not being moved."

I don't think I'd want a headcase like Zambrano on my team. He's also come out and said he's retiring after this contract is up in 2 years (I think). I don't think he'd be worth what we'd have to give up.
