Thoughts on Milton Bradley

In a bad contract swap. The Mariners took Milton Bradley in exchange for the nightmare contract of Carlos Silva.

This makes tons of sense for the Mariners. They added a DH who can play left field on occasion. They got rid of the remaining of the worst contract in Seattle history.

Only drawback is that this DH's name is Milton Bradley, a man who ran himself out of town. Will he be a good guy like he was in Texas? Or a train wreck like in Chicago?

This makes very little sense for the Cubs, except they got rid of Bradley. Silva is a terrible pitcher in any league.

There is no winner for either team. But the Mariners may potentially pull out well, assuming he can be happy for 2 years in Seattle. The Cubs are more than happy to dump him, it'd be a PR disaster if they didn't.
