DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies added depth to their rotation, acquiring durable right-hander Jason Marquis from the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday for reliever Luis Vizcaino.

The 30-year-old Marquis was 11-9 with a 4.53 ERA last season for the NL Central champion Cubs. The Rockies also receive cash as part of the deal.

Colorado has a solid core of starters in Aaron Cook, Jeff Francis and Ubaldo Jimenez. Marquis likely will compete for a spot at the back of the rotation with Jorge De La Rosa, Jason Hirsh, Franklin Morales, Greg Smith and Greg Reynolds.

Marquis has had double-digit wins in each of the last five seasons, surpassing 190 innings four times. He's also a capable hitter for a pitcher, with five home runs and 40 RBIs in his nine-year career.

Chicago was looking to trim salary after reaching a preliminary agreement with free-agent outfielder Milton Bradley on a $30 million, three-year contract Monday.

It is thought the Cubs will pick up about $1 million of Marquis' $9,875,000 salary in 2009. Vizcaino will earn $3.5 million next season and his contract contains a $4 million club option for 2010 with a $500,000 buyout.

Vizcaino struggled in his first year with Colorado, going 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA in 43 relief appearances.

"I haven't seen much of him in person in the last year, but our scouts still felt like he had enough juice, enough savvy to pitch in the seventh, eighth inning," Cubs GM Jim Hendry said.

Romero suspended 50 games

NEW YORK -- Phillies reliever J.C. Romero and Yankees minor league pitcher Sergio Mitre were suspended for the first 50 games of next season after testing positive for a banned substance.

Romero earned two wins in Philadelphia's World Series victory over Tampa Bay last season.

Mitre is with the New York Yankees' Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Class AAA team.

Phillies sign Park

PHILADELPHIA -- Chan Ho Park and the Philadelphia Phillies finalized their $2.5 million, one-year contract Tuesday.

The 35-year-old right-hander went 4-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 54 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.

He averaged 15 wins per season over a five-year span from 1997-2001 with the Dodgers. He was a combined 75-49 in that time with a career-high 18 wins in 2000.

Pavano lands with Indians

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians have signed free agent pitcher Carl Pavano, who was a four-year bust with the New York Yankees because of injuries.

Pavano, 32, signed a one-year deal with the Indians, who have been looking to add starting depth and hope the right-hander has put his injury problems behind him. Pavano spent most of the past four years on the disabled list with shoulder and elbow issues. He made only 26 starts and went 9-8 with a 5.00 ERA with the free-spending Yankees, who signed him to a deal worth nearly $40 million.

Pavano is 66-66 with a 4.23 ERA in 175 career starts.
