New Reliever Robert Coello Happy to Be a Cub

New Reliever Robert Coello Happy to Be a Cub

By Brett on February 22, 2011

A little less than a week ago, the Chicago Cubs traded second base prospect Tony Thomas to the Red Sox for reliever/prospect Robert Coello, whom the Red Sox had to dump to clear up space on their 40-man roster. It was a surprising move, given the Cubs’ depth in the bullpen this year, but Coello [...]

Cubs Are Close to Long-Term Deal with Carlos Marmol

Cubs Are Close to Long-Term Deal with Carlos Marmol

By Brett on February 4, 2011

The Chicago Cubs and closer Carlos Marmol have been working on a long-term deal for a few weeks now. The two sides would like to reach an agreement in lieu of arbitration, for which Marmol is eligible the second time. Marmol requested $5.65 million for 2011 and the Cubs offered $4.1 million. According to the Chicago [...]

Are the Chicago Cubs the Most Likely Destination for Albert Pujols if He Becomes a Free Agent?

Are the Chicago Cubs the Most Likely Destination for Albert Pujols if He Becomes a Free Agent?

By Brett on February 3, 2011

The St. Louis Cardinals and star first baseman Albert Pujols are running out of time to negotiate an extension beyond the 2011 season, if Pujols’ stated negotiating deadline is to be believed. If the two sides can’t agree to an extension by the start of Spring Training, Pujols says he won’t negotiate until after the [...]

Is Sean Marshall an Option for the Rotation?

Is Sean Marshall an Option for the Rotation?

By Brett on February 1, 2011

After dealing Tom Gorzelanny, the Chicago Cubs are faced with the prospect of having an all right-handed rotation. Some would contend that having a lefty among your five starters (rather than just starting your five best) is a luxury, not a necessity – and a team would be foolish to start a lefty just for [...]

Jeff Samardzija Sounds Dangerously Close to How He Sounded Last Year

Jeff Samardzija Sounds Dangerously Close to How He Sounded Last Year

By Brett on January 24, 2011

At the time of the 2010 Chicago Cubs Spring Training, there were no fewer than four guys competing for two back-end rotation spots: Tom Gorzelanny, Carlos Silva, Sean Marshall and Jeff Samardzija. Marshall pitched the best out of the group, but ended up in the bullpen. Silva and Gorzelanny won the rotation spots. Samardzija pitched [...]

Chicago Cubs and Carlos Marmol Continue to Discuss Long-Term Deal

Chicago Cubs and Carlos Marmol Continue to Discuss Long-Term Deal

By Brett on January 21, 2011

Closer Carlos Marmol is the last remaining arbitration-eligible player on the roster, and the Cubs aren’t looking to take chances – they want to lock the pitcher up for not only 2011, but beyond. In the case of Carlos Marmol, you have a closer who has been as close to being an everyday player as [...]

Carlos Marmol Wants $5.65 Million, Cubs Offer $4.1 Million

Carlos Marmol Wants $5.65 Million, Cubs Offer $4.1 Million

By Brett on January 19, 2011

It’s amazing how it seems that, every year, when speculating on what a guy will receive in arbitration, fans are collectively able to nail the approximate mid-point of what a guy will request and what a team will offer. Case in point? Carlos Marmol – most had projected him to get about $5 million in [...]
