The Cubs agreed to trade for a pitcher Thursday, but it wasn’t Jake Peavy. The Cubs send minor-league reliever Jose Ceda to the Florida Marlins for their closer Kevin Gregg. The acquisition of Gregg lowers the likelihood that the Cubs will re-sign Kerry Wood. I’m not too broken up about that. I love Woody, and think that he has been a great Cub over the years. He’s going to be a high-priced closer that the Cubs just don’t need at his price tag.
Gregg was 62 saves with an ERA of 4.00 in 271 appearances. And that was for the Marlins. I think his tenure with the Cubs will be more successful. I’m not a huge fan of getting rid of a promising prospect, but Gregg has a proven track record in the majors.
