Not sure if this rumor has legs, considering the strength of the Cubs farm system is bullpen power arms and there is already a deep pool of candidates for the major league bullpen. Maybe Theo is stock-piling veteran relief pitchers in an attempt bolster the farm system through trades at the '12 deadline? Or maybe, if you want to get a little crazy, he thinks the Cubs can contend this year? Ha. Either way it is a low-risk move that could result in bullpen depth and/or a minor trade piece. Why not.
