The Chicago Cubs traded for right-handed reliever Yosver Zuleta from the Seattle Mariners on June 15. Zuleta was previously designated for assignment by the Mariners and has not made a Major League appearance this season. This move adds depth to the Cubs' bullpen, which has been affected by injuries. Scouts are hoping to address Zuleta's control issues, as he struggled with walks while at Triple-A Tacoma earlier this year. The Cubs sent a minor leaguer and cash to Seattle as part of the deal.
