Yesterday, it was reported that the Chicago Cubs had all but signed Matt Capps from the Pittsburgh Pirates to come and play for them, possibly not as a closer, but as a relief pitcher, even as their setup man. But today, the reports were contradicted. They said that Capps is indeed interested in the Cubs, but that RHPs are being sought by almost every team in the league at the moment. So he might not take whatever deal the Cubs are looking for, especially as the Cubs don’t seem to be as able to offer big salaries as they might have been in previous years. They still have to get a Milton Bradley deal done and that’s not easy either, and it will cost them extra money so their resources could well be largely depleted by the end of this thing.
