Cubs free Willy

ESPN.com is reporting that the Cubs have traded former Reds right-hander Scott Williamson to the Padres in exchange for two minor-league pitchers.

Williamson was 2-2 with a 5.08 ERA in 28 1/3 innings for the fifth-place Cubs.

Nothing earth-shattering here, but Willy was a media favorite during his tenure with the Reds.

I'm sure he's pleased to be pitching for the first-place Padres and free from the mess in Chicago.
