The Chicago Cubs acquired relief pitcher Fernando Rodney from the Mariners for a player to be named later.
Rodney will join the bullpen on Friday. He'll help provide depth in the late innings for the Cubs with Jason Motte on the disabled list.
The 38-year-old hurler posted a troublesome 5.68 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 50 2/3 innings with the Mariners. His FIP of 5.26 doesn't look much better.
