ESPN.com - MLB - Stark: Five who could get traded:

"Orlando Cabrera
Nothing seemed like more of a lock than Cabrera winding up with the Cubs this week. But at last check, the Expos were still believed to be asking for one of the Cubs' two hottest prospects, outfielder Felix Pie and pitcher Angel Guzman. So they've been stuck in the same game of chicken for days.

"The Giants also have talked about Cabrera, in a complicated deal that also would have brought them a reliever. But that seemed unlikely. So since the Expos have no shot to keep Cabrera after he becomes a free agent, they still figure to turn back to the Cubs at some point."

Come on Minaya, don't give in.

Later.
