Carlos Zambrano was once considered a top-flight starter in Chicago. After some problems with the Cubs organization, though, he's become an afterthought across much of Major League Baseball.

Zambrono has been traded to the Miami Marlins and former Chicago White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen. During his 11 seasons with the Cubs, Zambrano amassed a record [...]

Cubs president Theo Epstein said he wasn’t trying to make a particular point when he traded Carlos Zambrano to the Miami Marlins for a choirboy this week. “You don’t have to be a choirboy to be accepted into the Cubs’ clubhouse,’’ Epstein said after the trade became official Thursday.

After three injury-riddled season — and a ton of headaches — the Cubs elected to deal the sole survivor of the Dusty Baker era to the Miami Marlins. In return, the Chicago Cubs...
