Aren’t there tampering rules against talking to a player on another team?

I know, right?

We’ll be ok with voiding Zambrano’s contract. Ozzie should talk to Soriano while he’s at it.

That would be so very very awesome if the cubs could void Z’s and soriano’s contracts and not be penalized. Heck I would be fine with giving them each 5 mil per year left on their contracts to just walk away with no legal battles with the players union.
Im surprised the cubs are not trying to get Z’s contract voided with the whole ozzie and Z conversations thing going on daily.

Not unless Ozzie tells Zambrano to throw a temper tantrum to bring down his trade value… then again even if he did no one would notice the difference.

I think that the Cubs would have to prove the tampering. Right now, I am sure that they would both just say that they are friends and the talking is not baseball relevant. That said, if Z can be traded to the Marlins, the Cubs should use a possible tampering charge as a negotiation tactic in making the deal.

Ozzie, you can have him.

You know, until recently, there hasn’t been much buzz about Buehrle in the FA… or maybe I am missing something… any ideas why?

This might be totally unrealistic, but what about swapping Vernon Wells for Johan Santana? Again, just a thought, but they’re both owed a similar amount of money…the Mets get an OF who is still young enough to have a couple of bounce-back seasons left in the tank, and the Angels get a starter who, if healthy, could make things very interesting… I dunno, just trying to be creative…
