Carlos Marmol of Chicago Cubs close to being deal to Los Angeles Dodgers, sources say - ESPN Chicago (http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/9442602/carlos-marmol-chicago-cubs-close-being-deal-los-angeles-dodgers-sources-say)

Theo, I know he's easy, but will you please stop picking on Ned Colletti?

Why are LA teams so interested in Marmol?

He is not a bad reliever, he is a bad closer. Keep him out of the ninth inning, and he will do fine. We needed him off the team since Sveum kept putting him in in the ninth. Wonder who will be coming our way?

I wish Sveum would get traded too!

Looks like Cubs will eat majority of salary and will get either Luis Cruz or Matt Guerrier. I guess I'm okay with this now...

Makes sense since the dodgers could use some relief help.

Marmol is one of those "change of Scenery" lottery tickets. Just being in a different environment COULD do wonders for him. I doubt it, but it could.

Different team, different expectations. And no doubt pitching at Dodger Stadium could do wonders...

These past few years of making fun of him is about to come back and haunt me. Thanks Ned......

I don't want Guerrier, but I think Cruz would be a nice addition. Who knows, maybe he turns out like Ransom has?

You can have Cruz and his .127 average his pop outs in the infield will look a whole lot better in a Cubs uniform.

Ransom came to the cubs a career .220 hitter, and is now htting in the .270s with 8 bombs when he doesn't even play against righties. Ill take my chance with the 29 year old SS. You can have Marmol, and his hit one, walk one, throw one away philosophy.

Ha yeah I don't want marmol either, we don't need anymore shaky relievers its been a huge downfall for the Dodgers this year

If anything you guys should go for Gregg, he has been our most consistent guy, and the dodgers are still contenders in their division.

Yeah unfortunately the only guy we didn't keep was Gregg he's having a damn nice season, I'm still shock that the dodgers could be 3.5 games game of first if the Dbacks lose tonight. I've never seen a team perform the basics (fielding, sacrificing, pitching) so poorly it's disgusting to watch sometimes.
