The Red Sox today sent Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs as part of the a four-team deal that will send Expos shortstop Orlando Cabrera and Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz to Boston. Cubs starting pitcher Matt Clement had been rumored to be a part of the deal, but in the end Chicago held on to him. The Red Sox also sent prospect Matt Murton and cash considerations to Chicago. In a separate deal, the Red Sox acquired outfielder Dave Roberts from the Dodgers for outfield prospect Henri Stanley.
I'll miss Nomar but at least he is a Cubbie now. I think the deal will help out Boston alot. Getting those quality players for someone that would have left the Sox after this year anyways is a steal.

I think Nomar will enjoy being a Cubbie. Plus, His Defense will help solidify the infield. Sosa, Nomar, Alou, Rameriez....pretty nice line-up.
