Harden to the Scrubbies

Harden and Gaudin for Murton, Patterson, Gallagher and a minor leaguer.

Bad trade in my eyes. Harden cant stay healthy. He'll be another Prior for the Northside faithful.

The next Mark Prior/Kerry Wood

It'll help the Cubs win it all this season, but it will help the A's in the end, as all their trades do. I really like Gallagher.

harden is so fragile,doubt he'll be available down the stretch when he's needed.

It's a steal if he stays healthy. They didnt' give up much. Could be another Prior though. Phillies could have offered more than that wtf.

Gallagher is a #3 starter at best and Murton/Patterson are backup OF. Not sure about this Donaldson dude, but he better be good.

exactly. if harden is unavailable down the stretch.. it's a risk anyone would take.. compared with a rookie in gallagher. Anyhow, gotta love how the Cubs complete this trade the day of CC's 1st start, to steal the thunder back. I say Gaudin and Gallagher are almost a wash right now anyways.
