Trade thought with the Cubs
I think the Reds should go after Fukudome to play left and bat lead off. He is hitting over .300 and his ops is .400+ in the lead off spot.
Stubbs could be moved to 6 or 7 in the line up and it would help the defense in left as well.

Re: Trade thought with the Cubs
I threw this idea out during the last series between the Cubs. Problem is Fukudome is making $14.5M this year but is a free agent after the season.
He is a tough out, and gets on base. But he is 34 years old. I just don't think it will happen with the money part of being a problem.

Re: Trade thought with the Cubs
Its a complete rental and I am sure the Cubs would throw in money for a decent prospect.
