Milton Bradley is still a Cub. It would be funny if he remained a Cub through the remainder of his contract and he just sat in right field when it was their turn to take the field and picked grass. But alas, there will likely not be any sitting in right field; the Cubs are working to get rid of Bradley. Bradley wants to go. It’s going to happen.

But where? Well, there was that Rangers talk about a week ago, which made a lot of sense. But according to Robothal, the Rays are still a very likely suitor, and in a smaller market on a team managed by Joe Maddon, I think that could work too. He’d fit in well as a DH for them. But this, also mentioned by Robothal? This make-a no sense:

The idea, while described as a longshot, is at least one way for the Cubs to trade outfielder Milton Bradley.

Bradley to the Blue Jays. First baseman Lyle Overbay to the Mets. Second baseman Luis Castillo to the Cubs.

The teams indeed have discussed the framework of such a deal, though not in direct fashion, according to major-league sources.

The Cubs spoke to the Mets about Bradley-for-Castillo, while the Mets spoke to the Jays about Bradley-for-Overbay, sources say.

I’m not speaking specifically about Bradley to the Blue Jays. (That proposed, unlikely three-way deal could work for each team.) I’m talking about Bradley for Luis Castillo straight up. Now, nothing against the Mets. I think they are a fine organization. But considering all the front-office turmoil last season, and the team’s epic collapse, wouldn’t Milton Bradley be the last guy you’d want to throw into that powder keg?

Though, who knows. Bradley’s attitude was supposed to be the difference maker in Chicago this past season. Hardy har.
