The Expos have sent shortstop Orlando Cabrera to the Cubs for shortstop Alex Gonzalez, third baseman Brendan Harris and Class AAA righthander Francis Beltran -- a trade that might be the precursor to a four-team blockbuster that would send Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs and righthander Derek Lowe to the Twins.
The Expos-Cubs trade is confirmed, but the other aspects of the deal are still being negotiated and might not be completed. If the deal goes through, the Red Sox could end up with Cabrera and Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz.
Nomar can happen but it's not confirmed right now, according to this.
