Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays struggled at the plate a bit in 2009. Bat Burrell as the team’s DH was a flop. The Rays could decide to trade Burrell for Bradley and live with his antics.

Los Angeles Angels
The Angels had a very good year and featured a dynamic batting order. But with a few of their players aging — namely Vladimir Guerrero — they could see Bradley as needed depth.

Texas Rangers
Bradley had a quality stint with the Rangers and with Texas coming off of a relatively poor year at the plate, they could welcome Bradley back with open arms.

Toronto Blue Jays
With the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays in their division, the Blue Jays will need to put runs on the board to have a shot in the AL East. Bradley could help do just that.

The hot-headed Bradley was then told by Piniella to leave the ballpark and go home. Bradley was replaced in the field by Ryan Freel.

The star of the game for the Cubs was Geovany Soto. A day after it became public knowledge that he was busted for marijuana at the 2009 World Baseball classic, Soto hit a three-run home run in the top of the seventh inning that put the Cubs up for good.

Following the contest, both Chicago baseball teams have 35 wins on the season. The Cubs also have 35 losses, while the White Sox have 38 losses.

Despite the argument between Piniella and Bradley, Piniella said that he will start Bradley on Saturday.

Milton Bradley Melts Down, Cubs Win

Here is what Bradley told the Chicago Tribune:

Unfortunately, I just think it’s a lot of ‘Oh, you did this to my colleague,’ or ‘We’re going to get him any time we can. As soon as he gets two strikes, we’re going to call whatever and see what he does. Let’s try to ruin Milton Bradley.’

It’s just unfortunate. But I’m going to come out on top. I always do.

So, it looks like Milton Bradley says there is a conspiracy against Milton Bradley. He also doesn’t appear shaken by his recent struggled and is confident that he’ll “come out on top” … like always.

If you want to know why he’s upset, checking out his stats is a good start. He’s hitting just .198 to go along with five homers and 13 RBI. Considering that the Cubs gave him $30 million to join their team this offseason, no one can be happy with that type of production.

Milton Bradley Whining About Umpires

Bradley’s season has started out about as slowly as possible. In 18 at-bats, he has only one hit for a batting average of .056. To add injury to insult, Bradley is now slowed by a groin injury on his right side.

The incident in which Bradley bumped the ump occurred after he struck out looking with the bases loaded. Larry Vanover was the umpire who called the strike, which on replays looked extremely iffy.

The 31-year-old native of California had the best season of his career last year with the Texas Rangers. In 126 games, he hit 22 homers, knocked in 77 RBIs and scored 78 runs, while posting a batting average of .321 and an on-base percentage of .436.
