Giants to trade Zito to Cubs for Zambrano?
Last updated: 08/22/11 at 17:44 PST by Allan Teruel

Could a change of scenery be good for both Barry Zito of the San Francisco Giants and Carlos Zambrano of the Chicago Cubs?
It was mentioned on the Monday, 8/22 show of the Razor and Mr. T on KNBR 680, the San Francisco Giants' flagship station, that a rumor is floating around that the teams could exchange their starting pitchers.* The shows' hosts, Ralph Barbieri and Tom Tolbert joked that if the Giants acquired Zambrano, they could bat him fifth.

There was no official source of the rumor, so please take it at face value.* The rumor was floated around (presumably among the media) in San Diego this past weekend while the Marlins were visiting the Padres.

Both pitchers have struggled with Zambrano recently being placed on the disqualified list.* Both players will likely clear waivers (especially with their high salaried contracts) should the teams want to swap them this season.* The teams would hope that a change of venue would allow either pitcher to find the spark that they were missing. Zambrano?
