A little premature now I would think.
I dunno. The way the season is going and after this you have to worry he's not going to resign. So you have to think now should he be traded while we can.
Barrett vs Z

Really a sad day in Cubdom. Meltdown. They probably will get rid of both players. There is absolutely no excuse to fight between teammates during the game. This will probably have repercussions. However, I admire die-hard Cub fans.....they continue to pack Wrigley and root for probably the worst sports team in all of professional sports. Isn't it like a 100 years since the won a World Series? I myself really don't follow baseball but I do know the Cubs are usually eliminated from contention by the summer.

barrett is not important to this team . . . if barrett doesnt hit he is useless, maybe the worst catcher in the major league . . . i watch almost all of the cubs games and barrett makes too many mistakes... z has been bad too but id rather see barrett go than z. This might fuel the team, because besides A-Ram and Lee this team has been very inconsistent . . . players that have to go Jones, Murton, Eyre, Barrett, Izzy . . . and soriano needs to step it up, he has been a huge disapointment

This isn't the first time two teammates have fought. No way we get rid of them because of one conflict.

I bet they get rid of Barrett before they get rid of Zambrano. Barrett's already criticized (correctly) for his defense and handling of pitchers, and this is about a dozen times now that he's had trouble with fighting.
Zambrano is a young potential ace that....aw f it, get rid of both of them. Who the hell fights their own teammates? They didn't even do it right, they both looked like sissies slapping each other.

I'm sure Hendry doesn't want to give up on this season yet officially....but man, we aren't going to contend this year. At any rate, I could see him going to a team like Philly for one of their mediocre guys and a prospect.

Sure, but they'd no doubt listen to offers that would stand to improve themselves. Right now the best thing to do might be to trade Z to the highest bidder and get as much as possible for him. Starting pitching really hasn't been our problem, and well, Zambrano isn't exactly the reason why it hasn't been a problem.

I don't think it hurts his trade value so much as it expedites the process. GMs see this and they start salivating because they know if they can put the right package together sooner rather than later, they'll get him.
Both of the NY teams would kill to get him and would probably put together some decent packages in so doing. Nobody is going to try to lowball the Cubs because they don't want to risk losing out to another team's better offer.
We could probably unload someone else along with him as well, preferably Jones.
