Carlos Marmol was a big part of the Cubs bullpen last season and Jim Hendry wants to keep him around.
Maybe you've heard talk of, or even share, my standard reaction to Cubs maneuvers these days. The shrug. No matter the player acquired, I just can't seem to divorce myself from broader feelings about the roster, and the man left in charge of the baseball decisions. Carlos Pena at 5 mil, with 5 mil deferred? Solid move. But where's this club going next season?
The Cubs are expected to "tender" contracts to all of their players Thursday as Major League Baseball and the players association agreed to move the tender deadline to Dec. 2nd. Players who are not offered contracts by Dec. 2nd become free agents.
