Bonifacio is indeed not in the lineup, with manager Rick Renteria saying it was “prudent” to hold him out, according to Rogers (Twitter link).

2:50pm: The Cubs are getting close to trading Bonifacio, tweets Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago. Levine tweets that Bonifacio is not in tonight’s lineup, which could obviously signal that a deal is nigh. Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle hears that the Giants have been scouting Bonifacio all week, but the asking price for the impending free agent is said to be high.

2:32pm: The Orioles are Giants are considering Cubs utility man Emilio Bonifacio as a trade option, tweets ESPN’s Buster Olney. Bruce Levine of 670 The Score adds the Royals, Mariners, and Reds as three more potential suitors (All Twitter links).

4:50pm: Bonifacio has been told to be prepared for a deal today, tweets Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times.

cubs also haven't made a corresponding roster move after bringing up Rusin due to the taxed bullpen from last nights 16 inning game.

@Ken_Rosenthal: From @miklasz’s latest: Mozeliak told me he was never close to trading Taveras and was amused by speculation that had him moving Taveras.




Thanks Mo, now convince our Dumbass manager to play him regularly.

Masterson is gonna get tested quick too. First start is at home vs the Brewers and the 2nd start will either be at home vs Red Sox or at Orioles

He must be a huge clubhouse guy too as Kipnis went on twitter to defend him from the haters and the whole team is wearing knee high socks in honor of him tonight.

It will be interesting to see how he and Pierzynski interact too

The Cardinals and Pirates are making the strongest bids for Lester at the moment, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of FOX Sports report (Twitter link). The Dodgers also remain involved.



I don't fricking know why, we can't hit the baseball, haven't all year, 2 runs in last 3 games against Cubs and Padres and we want to get another starter instead of a bat.

Masterson is a GREAT clubhouse guy and teammate. The players loved him. I have no doubt that he will do great things for the Cards. Cleveland is in a position where they have a solid core of young talent (one of the youngest teams in baseball) and our farm system is loaded. Corey Kluber has taken the ace spot and it seems apparent that the Tribe are going to start focusing on bringing up some of that young talent to gel with the current young talent. I dont think it was a situatioin where the Indians didnt have faith in Masterson or anything, just pure business. Again, i have a feeling the Cards just won the NL Central. Masterson is a solid pitcher!
