faba Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Nationals to trade for Rockies OF Wilson By Ken Rosenthal - SportingNews The Rockies have agreed to trade outfielder Preston Wilson to the Nationals for righthanded pitcher Zach Day and Class AAA outfielder J.J. Davis, the Sporting News has learned. Before the deal can be completed, the two clubs must agree on how much the Nationals will pay on what remains of Wilson's $12.5 million salary. Also, Wilson must OK the deal because the Nationals are one of five teams to which he can reject a trade. The Cubs, thought to be the frontrunner for Wilson, could re-enter the picture if the Nationals and Rockies can't work out the particulars. The Cubs called up Class AA outfielders Adam Greenberg and Matt Murton Thursday after they sent Corey Patterson and Jason Dubois to Class AAA Iowa.

TomShane Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Corey Patterson, back home in Triple-A. I'm sure he handled the news well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Corey Patterson, back home in Triple-A. I'm sure he handled the news well. Imagine if the Yankees would have traded GARY SHEFFIELD for 2 minor league bums and a struggling pitcher in Sergio Mitre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have no idea why there is such clamor for Preston Wilson. His best days are far behind him and his declining numbers were inflated in the first place because of his home ball park. If the Cubs were to make a trade for Wilson, Jim Hendry should be fired the second he hangs up the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
