The Chicago Cubs trade Cesar Izturis to the Pirates
The Cubs have traded Cesar Izturis to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later. Izturis played in 65 games this season for the Cubs and he was 47 for 191 (.246 avg, .652 OPS) with 15 runs scored and 8 RBIs. The Cubs won’t miss Izturis too much as Ryan Theriot has taken over as their starting shortstop.
