Salary dump at its finest. Now the Cubs need to get rid of Soriano.
Quote:
Carlos Zambrano will get a much-needed fresh start with the Miami Marlins. The Chicago Cubs traded their former ace Wednesday for Marlins right-hander Chris Volstad, pending physicals and approval by Major League Baseball, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams hadn’t announced a deal.
I can't believe someone actually wanted Big Z. He hasn't been relevant for years and his attitude is ridiculous. And you're right, with whiny Hanley and Zambrano on the same team, the clubhouse is likely to be set on fire before the end of the season.
bad deal and yes Soriano needs to go also from the Cubs

Geez Cubs are paying $15.45 million of his contract. No wonder the Marlins agreed. LOL!
I wonder if the Angels paid $48 million of the remaining 3 year $63 million contract of Vernon Wells, would any team take him. LOL!

As part of the trade, the Marlins will pay $2.55 million of Zambrano’s $18 million salary this year. The Cubs are responsible for the rest but were willing to foot the bill because they weren’t optimistic relations with Zambrano could be patched up.
Cubs Trade Carlos Zambrano To Marlins
