CUBS accept...get 2 SP to help my staff

Arizona accepts. I wasn't going to be able to afford Webb after this season so no matter what I was going to get what I could for him now. Haren was tough to lose because he was relatively inexpensive and under control for 3 seasons. But in the process I really added to my system with the three young pitchers and Hak-Ju Lee. I also added cheap innings eaters in Gorzelanny and Wells. Plus Jay Jackson can step in whenever. I know have two really exciting young pitchers to build a staff around with Jarrod Parker and Jackson.
