Harden, Heilman claimed

**GriffClones** · 08-27-2009, 03:56 PM

Both Rich Harden and Aaron Heilman were claimed by National league teams today. They have till Monday to work out a trade or could be pulled back.

Are the Cubs giving up?
Muskat Ramblings: 8/27 Harden, Heilman reportedly claimed

I would keep Harden and either sign him to a long term deal or let him go and take the draft picks. Those two draft picks are more valuable than what we could get for him right now.

Whoever it is can have Heilman for a bucket of bp balls...

Harden on the other hand, I am starting to think you bring him back next year. He has been pretty good the past two months...

Why they dumpin Harden????

He's actually turned the corner i thought 3-1 since the break......what other cub pitcher can claim that???

I would say yes. And that is fine. Lets look to next year.

I think gocubs2118 summed the Harden situation up perfectly.

I should really change it back to Felix Pie.

Harden should be a middle reliever.

I'm sure they'll let Heilman go, Harden they probably just want to see what someone would give them in a trade but bet he is pulled back.

Please explain.

Hopefully they put Soriano and Bradley on waivers too and someone is dumb enough to take their huge contracts off our hands. I don't care if we get a bag of balls in return for both of them, surely they could use all that saved money to make some smarter acquisitions this offseason.

Soriano is owed like $90 mil... So I doubt it.
