Meche Available?
WEDNESDAY: Jon Heyman of SI.com says Meche is "expected to be shopped by the Royals at the trade deadline," tossing out the Cubs as a possibility. Who knows. On a related topic, Buster Olney says "some folks within the industry" believe the Cubs would be C.C. Sabathia's most aggressive suitor if he becomes available.
TUESDAY: Yesterday, ESPN's Peter Gammons said the Cubs are "sifting through names that could be available," mentioning starters A.J. Burnett, Gil Meche, Randy Wolf, Paul Byrd, Joe Blanton, Erik Bedard, and Aaron Cook. Gammons notes that the Cubs tried to sign Meche in the winter of '06 (as did the Jays).
The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton spoke to Meche as well as a club official. It doesn't seem that the Royals will shop Meche, and he wouldn't necessarily waive his no-trade clause for Chicago anyway. Dutton's club source indicated that Meche is expected to be a big part of the next winning Royals team. Meche earns $11MM this year, $11MM in '09, $12MM in '10, and $12MM in '11.
