Olson back to AL?

[MaineFan]

It appears Garrett Olson's stay in Chicago may be short:

Good trade for Seattle.

I would rather have Olson than Heilman and Olson may do very well in that big park.

[lovetoaster]

Solid trade all around. Heilman makes a lot more sense for the Cubs than Olson.

[o'sfan2009]

Yea, clearly evident both sides here.

Cubs are going all in now.

M's are building for the future by trading big chips like Putz and veterans like Heilman. Very good trade for the M's IMO.

So Cedeno and Olson are headed eastward to Seattle. I think the M's got the best of this trade. If that's what the Cubs got for Cedeno, perhaps we should have looked at little closer at it.

Olson - Bedard reunion.

[Nick The Stick]

So Olson to the M's... Cedeno there to make competition with Betancourt... Hmm... Wouldn't it be hilarious if...

Nah, no way Olson comes back to the O's in another deal... right? :scratchchinhmm:

Olson - Bedard reunion.

Could be a good lefty teacher-student relationship....if Bedard wants it to be.

[Gurgi]

Olson is making his way to San Diego trade by bloody trade. I wouldnt be surprised if he makes it soon. LOL.

Olson is another good young arm for Seattle, who have a bunch of talent guys like him in Morrow and Rowland-Smith. He should win a spot in the rotation and if not, the bullpen.

So the Cubs basically traded Cedeno and Pie for Heilman umm that seems a little how you say uh stupid.

[PaulBako]

Now Olson has a chance to start.

Good move by both clubs.

[Ruzious]

No Peavy for the Cubs.

Players who are out of options and haven't shown much at the ML level aren't generally very valuable trade chips....

How is Olson like Brandon Morrow? Because they are around the same age?
