It's rumored that several teams have contacted the Cubs and are interested in trading for Fukudome. The Seattle Mariners have been the most aggressive offering Jarod Washburn or Erik Bedard. Is this a trade you would make? Would either of these players make the Cubs any better.

In my opinion I think it's too early to give up on Fukudome. He didn't have the best rookie season, but he's a lefty bat and a great defender which is something the Cubs need badly on their roster. Their pitchng staff is pretty set so we don't really need another pitcher. Would this be a good move for the Cubs? Thoughts, comments?
 
That would be awesome if the Mariners get Fukudome to team up with Ichiro.

But if I was the Mariners I wouldnt give up Bedard.
 
The Cubs signing Milton Bradley most likely means that Fukudome won't be used much anymore, so why shouldn't they go after someone like Washburn or Bedard? I thought Fukudome was a major disappointment for the Cubs last season.
 
Im a big cubs fan, and i definitely think that the cubs should get riddance of kosuke fukudome. he was a waste of a player and is probably in the top 10 list of last years most overrated players. the cubs should fill his spot with reed johnson or matt fontenot (reed's a top fielder and fontenot's a homerun hitter). they should trade him and get either a pitching or a good fielding prospect. i would say that bedard or washburn for fukudome are great trades (even though i support the bedard rumored trade).
