Milton Bradley Signs Deal With Cubs Pending Physical
According to ESPN sports Milton Bradley has signed a deal with the Chicago Cubs for 3 years and 30 million dollars. Bradley played last year with the Texas Rangers where he did have an outstanding season. The Cubs are expected to move Jason Marquis to the Colorado Rockies to free up some room to pay Bradley. Now this move in my eyes really does not make a lot of sense. I understand what the Cubs were trying to do by signing him, but Bradley has struggled to stay healthy his whole career.
He also has had many run-ins in baseball with umpires, players, and even fans so I do not know if I would pay a guy that kind of money when you really do not know when he is going to snap and hurt your ballclub. If you think about it Bradley has been with seven teams now counting the Cubs. Just goes to show that many people have found Bradley to be more of a problem than help to a ballclub. I guess we will see how well he does. I am hoping for the Cubs he stays clean and is a model citizen, but knowing Bradley I seriously doubt it.
