Mark DeRosa open to Cubs return

PrintCardinals third baseman Mark DeRosa said he would listen if the Cubs were interested in bringing him back, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting. DeRosa has hit a career-high 21 home runs this season, but his average his down from his .276 career average.
If the Cubs are interested this winter, ''I would definitely listen,'' said DeRosa, who was shocked and saddened by his trade to Cleveland on New Year's Eve, six months before the Indians traded him to St. Louis.
The Cubs seem content with Jeff Baker, Mike Fontenot, and Andres Blanco manning the second base spot, so a Chicago reunion for DeRosa seems unlikely.

Just wondering...
what’s up with these players talking about NEXT YEAR’S team before the current season is completed??? First it was Doug Davis in the previous post and now this…seems to me that anyone on a current MLB roster owes it to his present team and his present team’s fans to focus on finishing up 2009, before you start thinking about where you are going to be for 2010.
A lot of times it’s the reporters that bait them into saying those things just to make a story out of nothing. They’ll ask point blank if they’d play for such and such a team. If the player says no then it turns into a huge story, so they just leave it as “I’ll listen if they are interested”, which some still think is newsworthy even though it’s not.
