As first reported by Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs have made a change at closer.
Kyuji Fujikawa, who was signed to a two-year, $9.5 million free agent contract this winter after spending the last 12 seasons in Japan, will be Chicago?s new ninth-inning man. He struggled mightily in Saturday night?s late loss to the Braves, allowing three earned runs in the eighth inning, but the Cubs still feel that he will be a big upgrade over Carlos Marmol.
Marmol has surrendered six hits, two walks and five earned runs over 1 2/3 innings this season. He will serve as a mop-up man until he gets himself right.
If Fujikawa can?t cut it, the Cubs will probably try either Shawn Camp or James Russell next.
