Milton Bradley traded

According to the Cubs' Web site, Milton Bradley has finally been traded. Carlos Silva comes to the Cubs, and the Mariners will send the Cubs' $9 million. All in all, this saves the Cubs $6 million as Silva is owed $24 million over the next two years as opposed to the $21 going Bradley's way.

Silva has been slowed by injuries and suckiness since signing a four-year, $48 million deal prior to the 2008 season. His last productive season was 2007 when he was 13-14 with a 4.19 ERA with the Twins.
