Links for Friday...

• I did a Q&A over at Coast to Coast Baseball.
• Some doubt with the sale of the Cubs to the Ricketts family: Tribune owner Sam Zell said, "We've made it very public that the Cubs don't fit into the long-term picture of the Tribune.  So if the Ricketts deal doesn't get done, I'm sure there will be other ones."
• In separate articles, Dan Uggla and Octavio Dotel comment on the possibility of being traded.
• Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says Edgar Renteria was a good signing for the Giants, if you ignore the actual contract.  Eh?
