Sir, I Beg To Differ
The unfortunately named and often irascible Milton Bradley is a Seattle Mariner, coming over from the Chicago Cubs in an offseason trade for the underperforming Carlos Silva. This trade has a tremendous upside for both clubs, and for both players. The Mariners and Cubs have each shed a player who had become a cancer on the clubhouse, as in Bradley’s case, or an overpaid bust like Silva. For both players, the switch to a new team means a fresh start.
