Cubs deal Farnsworth
The Cubs traded right-handed reliever Kyle Farnsworth and a player to be named to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday for pitcher Roberto Novoa and two minor leaguers.
Farnsworth, whose fastball has been clocked at 100 mph, was 4-5 with a 4.73 ERA last season for the Cubs. He struck out 78 batters in 66 2-3 innings.
Novoa split time between Detroit and Double-A Erie in 2004. In 16 games with the Tigers, the right-hander was 1-1 with a 5.57 ERA.
The Cubs also picked up third baseman Scott Moore and outfielder Bo Flowers in the trade.
Moore hit .223 with 14 home runs and 56 RBI in 118 games at Class A Lakeland last season. Flowers played the majority of the season at Class A Oneonta, hitting .280 with four home runs and 26 RBIs in 66 games.

Is Bo Flowers related to Monty Flowers?
Yes, Monty is Bo's dad. That is where Bo gets all of his athletic talent. One day Bo will probably be one of the best 6th grade basketball coaches in the nation.
