Huzzah.

Good riddance.

I'm going to post what a good move this was 100 different ways in this thread, just so I can balance out the next time Epster does something I don't like.

I think the way they handled this by pretending to be conflicted until nearly the deadline was classy. Good move.

Our long national nightmare is over.

Hendry would have locked him up for 4 more years.

how will our pitchers know what to do now when they're on the mound?

[Cubs Evangelist]

I assume Welington gets the gig?

I bet Theo and co are scouring the FA pool to find the catcher with the lowest CERA they can afford.

There's a decent chance Clevenger gets it so Castillo can get ABs in Iowa. I'm fine with it either way though.

This was an easy decision for the new FO.

And yet such a hard decision for the last one.

[Old Style]

PRAISE JEEBUS!

Koyie made a few million dollars being one of the worst players in baseball over the last decade. Not too bad of a gig if you can get it.

In the absence of any other moves, does this cement a role for Castillo in 2012? If Soto is traded, Castillo becomes the starter. If Soto stays, Castillo is the backup? Seems right to me.

My guess is that one of Soto or Castillo are the starter and Clevenger is the backup. Either Soto or Castillo are traded or Castillo starts in Iowa.

I have no animosity for Koyie Hill since he wasn't the one that got to decide when and how much he'd play. I did my celebrating when they got rid of Quade.
