Cubs cut Silva after failed roster bid in spring
The Chicago Cubs released pitcher Carlos Silva one day after saying he would not make the opening day roster leaving the club responsible for his 11.5 million salary. Silva refused a Triple-A assignment and criticized pitching coach Mark Riggs while Andrew Cashner won the final spot in the Cubs rotation. Other moves include the Reds reassessing Dontrelle Willis and Jeremy Hermida in minor league camp and the Astros trading Joe Inglett while sending Lance Pendleton back to the Yankees. Nyjer Morgan also moved to the Brewers with Cutter Dykstra and cash as part of a Nationals trade sequence.
