After just talking about the Jets, the Marlins are for sure going to be the Jets of the MLB led by a crazy coach in Ozzie Guillen.
The Marlins just got a little bit crazier by trading for Carlos Zambrano. The trade breaks down as Carlos Zambrano from the Cubs for Chris Volstad. The trade is still pending physicals and approval from the commissioner's office according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Marlins will pay just $2.5MM of Zambrano's $18MM salary, reports Juan C. Rodriguez of The Sun Sentinel.
I love this deal for the Marlins and I believe that Carlos Zambrano can still be a good pitcher. If anyone in the MLB needs a change of scenery it's Zambrano. Zambrano, 30, posted a 4.82 ERA with 6.2 K/9, 3.5 BB/9 and a 42.4% ground ball rate in 145 2/3 innings for the Cubs in 2011. The deal gives the Marlins a projected rotation of Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Anibal Sanchez, Ricky Nolasco and Zambrano. Which isn't bad and with the Marlins and their offseason, I believe they can take the NL East.
