Matt Garza isn't going to remain a Cub much longer. The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington will likely be the pitcher's new home ballpark, as Garza has a 99% chance of dealt to Texas. In return, the Cubs will be receiving a reported six prospects, which may or may not include third baseman Mike Olt. The Rangers have been reluctant to trade top pitching prospect Martin Perez, however.
Yovani Gallardo will now become the "most valued pitcher" on the trade market. The Brewers will most likely want a deal similar to Garza's, so the teams looking for pitching better dig deep down and find some "trade bait." I believe the market for Gallardo won't be as large as Garza's, because they are not the same caliber pitchers. Nonetheless, the trading market for pitchers just got richer, due to this huge deal.

And LOL at Mike Olt being the best 3b prospect. The guy is awful now and is struggling mightily in AAA. And oh yeah, the dude's almost 25
