Carlos Marmol - R - Chicago Cubs

Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said Friday that Carlos Marmol will remain the team's closer, despite the recent signing of Japanese reliever Kyuji Fujikawa.

This is assuming that Marmol is still with the team come spring training. They've already attempted to trade him once this offseason, in the potential Dan Haren deal, and will likely continue to do so. If he begins the season with the club, his margin for error will be small.
