Doesn't look like the Cubs fanbase is in the same mood the Rays' would be in. Where they need prospects returned whose names are familiar to the casual fans.
Samardzija is making noises about "I won't sign with my new team" because he's comfortable in Chicago. But I'll bet he could get re-acclimated quickly.
.....
Samardzija's BPV is 112 and 100 the last two years, comparable to Verlander and Greinke. He's camouflaged some by Wrigley - the move from there to Safeco wouldn't hurt 'im none.
