Marmol is arbitration eligible this year and is asking for $5.65 million and the Cubs have countered with $4.1 million.
Marmol had a very good season in 2010 posting 38 saves in 43 opportunities. He had an unbelievable 138 strikeouts in 77 2/3 innings. He has electric stuff and should become one of the best closers in the league if he can continue where he left off in 2011.
