Random thoughts while wondering whether a person can win Executive of the Year when his/her team fails to reach the postseason, fails to have a .500 or better record but is successful is unloading veteran players (and their salaries — or most of their salaries): * Chicago Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer might merit consideration […]
Monday meanderings: Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Sunday right-hander Matt Garza would be pitching Monday — for the Cubs at Arizona.
