The Chicago Tribune (hmmm, can we say potentially biased reporting?) is reporting that the Cubs and Rangers have a big deal brewing: Jerome Williams, Corey Patterson and Todd Walker to Texas for Alfonso Soriano and Kevin Mench.
Trib also reported that the Cubs may wade into the waters for A.J. Burnett, and if they land him, substitute Kerry Wood for Jerome Williams in the above deal.
I'll believe it when I see it, but if the Cubs could make the first deal, they'd be crazy not to take it. The second deal would also be acceptable. Soriano is young, and a monster hitter and Mench is a good power guy who doesn't strike out a lot (68 and 63 times the last two years). I note, however, that the team would still need someone to set the table...
