I don't like this deal for the Cubs end one bit. Worse case scenario they could have hired a hitman to break Bradley's legs so that his '11 year becomes a club option. Then they would have saved more money than they did in this deal.
Gorzelanny is a potential TOR starter thats going to get blocked by Silva. Imagine if the scenario were reversed and we had already signed Jarrod Washburn as a #4? Would you really be happy about this? Silva would block Morrow from the rotation (and also Fister, French, Vargas or anyone else). You've traded for a very low upside commodity where you already HAD a talented younger, and you traded a high upside commodity to do so.
I will eat crow if Silva pitches well, but this looks like a really poor deal on Chicago's side from my perspective if they are gambling on Silva pitching well. If I were a Chicago fan, I'd be pissed right now. Silva would probably not even get a $1mil, 1 year deal if he were on the FA market.
