Well, well, well...it looks like all this talk about Jim Hendry looking to trade away some of the Cubbies honored tradition in exchange for 1988 Oral Hershiser was nothing more than a smokescreen used to distract his foes from getting in the way of his real objective, right-handed pitcher Rich Harden of the Oakland A's.
