According to Larry Stone of the Seattle Times, the Mariners will trade relief pitcher Carlos Silva to the Cubs for the much maligned outfielder Milton Bradley.
The move rids the Mariners of Silva’s overpiced contract — four years, $48 million — of which two years remain. For the Cubs, they dump a player who had a rocky season in Chicago last year, in which he was suspended by the league, sent home by the team and generally underperformed on his $30 million deal.
