Updated: 12:48pm...Can it really be? BRADLEY IS GONE!!!!

It looks be really close to being confirmed...(Carrie Muskat is also reporting this!)

Milton Bradley has been trade to the Seattle Mariners for pitcher Carlos Silva.

Silva will make $11.5 million each of the next two seasons.

It sounds as if the Cubs will actually be receiving some money in this deal as Silva has only 5 wins over the last 2 seasons.

Update:

Paul Sullivan reports via Twitter that the Cubs will be receiving $9 million in the deal.   Offsetting the salaries, that mean the Cubs will save about $6 million in the deal.  About as well as they could hope for. 

Stay tuned!
