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.

okay
It just wouldn’t be the M’s if they weren’t involved in at least one bad deal in the off-season, but at least they got rid of that no good cheerleader Silva and his non productive ways. Bradley will be a problem for sure, but if he isn’t then the M’s got away with one. One more enigma(Beltre) to go and we’ve ridded ourselves of all the bad deals we’ve made over the last years.
