Cubs Trade!!!!!!!!!

[CHICAGODOG]

Struggling DH/1B Phil Nevin was traded Wednesday by the Rangers to the Cubs, who desperately need a bat in the middle of their lineup without Derrek Lee. The Rangers, who will pay a portion of Nevin's $10 million salary, got utility player Jerry Hairston Jr. from the Cubs. Nevin was hitting .216 with nine homers and 31 RBI in 46 games for Texas, where he split time in the lineup with rookie Jason Botts the past week.

Nevin's one of those guys whose career fell apart once they started testing for steroids. On the other hand, Hairston never had a career to fall apart.
