The Cubs traded for Closer Kevin Gregg, ending Kerry Wood's ten years of service to the Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs made a shocking announcement on Friday.
The rumors were true. Kerry Wood was not coming back.
The Cubs on Thursday traded for Closer Kevin Gregg from Florida, ending Wood's career in Cubbie Blue.
Closing duties will now apparently go to Carlos Marmol, who was in the running to close last year. Gregg may also be used in Save situations this year.
As a Cubs fan, it pains me to write this. Wood's been one of the best, classiest guys in all of Baseball, and I can't beieve he's not coming back.
It's going to be hard to watch Kerry with his new team, but I think Cubs fans will wish him the best with his new ballclub.
It's the end of an era in Chicago.
