I was wandering around various baseball sites today, and came across a thought that honestly made me laugh when I first read it."The Cubs have the finances... have a chance to win, which is what Roy Halladay will certainly require, and while the Cubs' farm system isn't atop the league right now, there are a few intriguing talents that could fill out a package for Halladay."That's on ESPN 's Rumor Mill.

I've read a couple other places that the Cubs might be a "darkhorse" candidate to make a splash for the Blue Jays' ace.Wow. And I thought the only rumors "coming out of left field" this winter for the Cubs would be Alfonso Soriano taking pitches next year!But after some reflection, there might be a possibility that the Cubs could, and might be more willing to, put together a package of players that's both larger and better than a team like the Phillies, that doesn't necessarily need Halladay to win.In the final year of Derrek Lee and Ted Lilly's contracts, and with questions swirling around GM Jim Hendry's future with the club past 2010, the Cubs' sense of urgency should be like needing a bathroom on a stalled elevator.But what could the Cubs offer Toronto that would make them consider moving the former Cy Young Award winnerJosh Vitters , 3BVitters is one of the top two or three prospects in the Cubs' organization, and has been the headline generating trade piece for the Cubs over the past 15 months. If he projects more as a corner outfielder, that might hurt his value.Starlin Castro/Ryan Theriot , SSCastro might be the biggest intrigue of the Cubs' winter. He's a 19-year old shortstop who's been arguably the best player in Arizona this fall, and projects as a significantly better major league shortstop than the current resident on the left side of the Cubs' infield, Theriot.I personally doubt the Jays would want Theriot, having already lived through a failed David Eckstein experiment in the last few years. He is a good gap hitter, though, and his minimal salary and ability to contribute at the major league level now might make him a candidate for the deal.The Jays could use a middle infielder to play next to Aaron Hill, and one of these two could be a part of a package.Geovany Soto , CThis might be a long shot, but Soto showed enough potential in his 2008 Rookie of the Year season that Toronto might be intrigued. They are currently working with Raul Chavez behind the plate, so Soto might become a more offensive option if he can bounce back from his high winter, and low season of 2009.Esmailin Caridad/Jay Jackson/Andrew Cashner/Jeff Samardzija , RHPCaridad was effective in a brief run with the Cubs at the end of 2009, and might factor into their bullpen moving forward.
