Zambrano is 30.

Looking for a solid year from Big Z, if he was just able to harness his stuff and temper he would be able to truly be something. Did anyone else acknowledge that 2011 was the first year Big Z ever posted an ERA over 4.00?

I can’t see a single reason Texas would make that trade…

This is a good move by Theo to try and head off a possible problem. I figure he’ll ask Z what he wants to do and get some kind of commitment. Whether he wants stay in Chicago or go somewhere else. Whether he’s willing to alter his contract to make a trade possible if he wants to leave.(unlikely) Most likely tell him that the Cubs want him and need him. But most importantly, Theo will let him know that if he blows up again, he’s gone!
Epstein is playing with house money for now. He and Hoyer can do want ever they feel is right for the team this year. Since the Cubs are not expected to do anything spectacular this year, they can do no wrong.If Zambrano goes nuts again Theo will cut him or trade for whatever and not come out on the losing end. Zambrano on the other hand can hurt his future, even if he collects his $18MM. He becomes toxic and will kill his future earnings potential and limit the clubs that would be interested.

Anyone else find it funny that the reporter’s name, who Zambrano talked to, was Carlos Zambrano??
