The problem with that wish is that Lofton won't come cheap. Look at it from a simple cost/benefit standpoint: It would cost the Cubs next to nothing to get Edmonds, who would probably sign at the league minimum. If he can turn back the clock a couple seasons (which happens quite often just about the time a player appears to washed up), the potential benefit could be significant- a decent hitter against RHP to platoon with Johnson.
If it doesn't work, Edmonds is released, Pie is recalled, and the Cubs are out a little cash. Big deal. This isn't a trading deadline blockbuster that everyone should be worked up about. As a Cubs fan, I think it's worth a shot. What the hell.
