The Cubs are denying an ESPN report regarding right-hander Carlos Zambrano's departure from the team on Friday night in Atlanta. The report quoted Zambrano's agent as saying the pitcher returned to Turner Field with his belongings a couple hours after saying he was retiring and bolting the park. Many of the players were watching the report on the clubhouse television Sunday morning, laughing at the idea of Zambrano returning after leaving in a huff. Zambrano's agent will file a grievance on Monday, hoping to lessen the 30-day stay without pay on the disqualified list.
