CHICAGO, ILLLINOS -- When the Cubs signed Milton Bradley in January, it was his first multi-year contract and a teary-eyed outfielder said he felt "blessed."
Chicago was more concerned about how many games Bradley would play because of his history of injuries than his controversial past. Ron Washington, who was Bradley's manager in Texas in 2008, praised the outfielder, saying his only problem was that he was a perfectionist.
But Bradley's one season with the club was anything but perfect.
The switch-hitter's tumultuous tenure with the Cubs ended on Friday when he was traded to the Mariners for pitcher Carlos Silva and cash.
