The Chicago Cubs trade Craig Monroe to the Twins
The Cubs have traded Craig Monroe to the Twins for a low level prospect to be named a little bit later. Monroe played in 122 games last season for the Cubs and Tigers and he was 86 for 392 (.219 avg) with 53 runs scored, 12 homers and 59 RBIs. Clearing out Monroe and Jacque Jones could open the door for the Cubs to make a move on a big time outfielder like Carl Crawford of the Devil Rays.
