Cubs Deals For Podsednik, Stewart Dead
Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Cubs will not be acquiring Scott Podsednik, and in fact chances were slim from the beginning. I saw a recent poll where the majority of Cubs fans thought the Cubs should trade for an outfielder. I disagree - I can't see a waiver acquisition improving upon the in-house options. The one possible exception I can think of is Matt Stairs. Regardless of my opinion, the Cubs will apparently go with what they've got.
Similarly, the idea of acquiring Shannon Stewart should be dismissed. According to the Contra Costa Times, Stewart's continued presence in an A's uniform means the deadline has passed for a trade. Joe Stiglich notes that Stewart could net the A's a high draft pick if he leaves via free agency.

Any thought of the Cubs trading for Wily Mo Pena? The Cubs need power and the Sox seems to want to get rid of Pena for some reason, I'm sure they could find a fit, assuming Pena passes through wavers. I just see this trade working because while Soriano is out, Pena could play left field and when Sori comes back he'd be a great bat off the bench, a role he's used too because of the Sox. This guy may strike out alot, but he'll give the Cubs a true power hitter in the #5 or #6 hole to drive in some runs.
I'm a Yankee fan, but I've always had a soft spot for former farm hands Lilly and Sori, so I'm kind of rooting for the Cubs a bit.

I like Wily Mo for the Cubs. I have an unreasonable amount of affection for him.

Willy Mo reminds me of Glenallen Hill...those guys are both absolute beasts.
