He needs to be traded or sent to the bullpen now. He's done, whatever magic he had is gone. That being said, the Cubs arn't going to straight release him, no way they eat 5 mil, and a trade isnt likely unless he somehow comes back and pitches well for a few starts, of course, then the Cubs won't trade him. What the Cubs will more than likely do is leave him as a starter until Wood or Prior comes back, and even then they might not take him out of the rotation. Remember, Baker does like having a lefty in the rotation, and unless Marshall is absolutely dealing, he is probably going to favor Rusch.
