Cubs sign Miles, trade DeRosa

Published by mromain under Uncategorized Edit This

The Cubs have been very busy today. First they signed Aaron Miles to a two year contract. The draw for Miles was that he has played every position in the infield but first and catcher. He has also made a relief appearance on the mound.  Miles also is a switch hitter.

 

As soon as I saw that, I saw the handwriting on the wall for Mark DeRosa. An hour after hearing about Miles, I heard that DeRo had been traded to the Indians for three pitching prospects. This really breaks my heart. I’ve been a DeRosa fan since his days with the Atlanta Braves. At least he’ll have one friend on the team – Kerry Wood should be there to greet him when they start Spring Training.
