If ARod goes to a Chicago team, it won't be to the Cubs, it will be to the White Sox. With the White Sox, it won't be too hard to move Uribe from SS so ARod can go back to his natural position. The Sox can give up Crede or Josh Fields (it won't be both) and some pitching talent for the trade. It will be a good trade on both sides.

The Cubs, on the other hand, do not have the same wealth of talent. They do have some pitching talent in the farm, but I think they're too green to entice the Yankees. Wood and Prior are done. ARod will not want to go to a last place team.
