In the midst of a playoff push, the Chicago Cubs are looking to bolster their bullpen by any means necessary.
According to the Seattle Mariners' public relations Twitter account, the Cubs acquired reliever Fernando Rodney from the Mariners on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
CSN Chicago's Patrick Mooney reported Rodney is expected to join the Cubs Friday night when they square off against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Mariners designated Rodney for assignment on Aug. 23, which opened up a 10-day period during which the reliever could be traded.
