"The Cubs finally found a taker for one-time ace Carlos Zambrano, shipping him to the Miami Marlins for veteran right-hander Chris Volstad, a major-league source confirmed.

"It's done," the source texted the Sun-Times.

The Cubs reportedly will eat $15 million of the $18 million due Zambrano in 2012.

Zambrano was the longest-tenured current Cub, making his debut on Aug. 20, 2001. He last pitched for the Cubs on Aug. 12, 2011, when he was ejected from a start against the Braves. He left Turner Field in Atlanta during the game, leading to a suspension that lasted until Sept. 11. Still, he did not pitch again for the Cubs.

Zambrano, 30, went 9-7 with a 4.82 ERA in 24 starts last season."
