FanHouse: Jon Lieber Is a Chicago Cub Again

Jon Lieber is coming home again, as the Cubs signed the veteran this afternoon. Lieber went 48-34 as a Cub from 1999-2002, and I know Silvio is happy to have him back. He always had an unhealthy man crush.

What this trade means though is that the Brian Roberts trade is finally going to happen now, as Lieber gives the Cubs enough security to move some younger pitching.

Also, in the spirit of Chicago baseball team's pursuing their former pitchers, I've nothing concrete but I'm told that the White Sox may go after Bartolo Colon.
