The Marlins have traded RHP Kevin Gregg to the Cubs, according to Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com.

The Marlins will recieve RHP Jose Ceda from Chicago, adds Clark Spencer at his blog for the Miami Herald.

Earlier in the off-season, a scout told the Sun-Sentinel, “He’s not a closer.  Not for me.  Maybe you stick him back in the seventh inning like he used to be for the Angels, but the arbitration number ($4 million or more) is too high for that role.”

In 72 appearances for the Marlins this season, Gregg was 7–8 with 29 saves and a 3.41 ERA.
