The Cubs announced today that they have traded RHP Aaron Heilman to the D-Backs for minor leagers Scott Maine and Ryne White.

…yet again, another non-tender cadidate gets moved, instead of being releasedthe Cubs were probably going to have to pay heilman around $2 million next season, after which he can be a free agent…

Heilman was 4–4 with a 4.11 ERA in 70 relief appearances for the Cubs last season, while striking out 65 batters in 72 innings.
