Milton Bradley delivered what was most likely his parting shot to Chicago in a statement released through his agents today.

The more I read and think about the Milton Bradley situation, the more I tend to agree with Baseball Prospectus’ paywalled Joe Sheehan: This mess is Jim Hendry’s fault, too.

MB’s mom is trying to mend his epically burned bridges (mixed metaphors for the win!), telling people that he’d come back if the Cubs organization would have him. Beyond the fact that that’s supremely unlikely, given the Cubs’ clubhouse woes in general, her comments are still interesting in a way. “Milton sleeps, eats, and drinks” baseball, according [...]

The Chicago Cubs suspended volatile outfielder Milton Bradley for the rest of the season yesterday, one day after he criticized the team in a newspaper interview.

OverviewMilton Bradley is suspended, Alfonso Soriano is hurt, and Kevin Gregg is a deadman walking. The three scapegoats of the season all seem to be getting their just desserts.
