If improving the pen can be done by getting rid of a shitty pitcher than it should be done regardless of how much money he is paid. I question why Cotts is on the roster, but I do think we need a left hander and Vizcaino was a time bomb waiting to explode. Thankfully we get rid of him so he can blow up another team's bullpen.
THIS MOVE MAKES SENSE. The Cubs are better for it. At the end of the day we saved the $6 million difference between Marquis and Vizcaino's contracts.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The move may make sense, but how we arrived at this point doesn't. If they didn't think much of Vizcaino, and never intended to carry him thru the season, he never should have made the roster out of spring training in the first place.
