Cubs pick up Miley on waivers, Barnhart traded for mid-level prospect, Castellanos will opt out and your General Manager said he has to dump salaries. Sounds like what the Cubs did last winter and you saw how their season turned out.
As a Cub fan, adding Miley does not solve their starting pitching woes, but he has always been a pretty good middle to backend of the rotation starter. They also only are committed to the one year left on his contract. All in all a move by the Cubs that I like.
Also a prediction. With the DH coming to the National League this season, I give the Cubs a 75% chance to sign Castellanos this winter.
