TweetTime For The Chicago Cubs To Seek Other Options At Closer
Coming into the season, we knew the Chicago Cubs weren’t going to be very good. What was even more evident was that their bullpen is less than stellar. Okay, so it’s a few notches below that even, but Carlos Marmol was expected to rebound and serve as the more reliable arm out of the bullpen. [...]
