It’s been a few years since the Chicago Cubs had the wild slider throwing Carlos Marmol on the mound. Thankfully, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending a seven-year run on the North Side.
The 33-year-old right-hander is currently a free agent after failing to keep a job with both the Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Indians. He made 21 appearances with Los Angeles.
When the Cubs acquired Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop from the Baltimore Orioles, fans, including myself, had no idea how great these two would turn out.
