Cubs ink Lieber to 1-year deal
A one year deal worth $3.5 million.
This frees up the Cubs to maybe swing one of their young pitchers in a trade, maybe get whatever they can for Marquis, maybe move Dempster back to closer (PLEASE!), or whatever. The rotation will probably be Zambrano, Lilly, Hill, Lieber, and Marquis/Dempster.
I see this as a cheap, league-averageish, stopgap option missed by the Cardinals. I would've liked to have seen him in Cardinal red -- the Clement/Mulder duo scares the living crap out of me, and $3.5 million is pretty cheap these days for a guy of Lieber's quality. Oh well.
