Kerry Wood and Cubs agree to a 1year contract worth 4.2mil. - Quote:
-
CHICAGO -- Kerry Wood decided to stay home. The Cubs agreed Monday to a one-year, $4.2 million contract with the free agent pitcher, who had been courted by several other teams for their bullpens.
"It's a very positive day for the Cubs," general manager Jim Hendry said. "Bringing Kerry back was a priority."
Wood's contract could pay him an additional $3.45 million in performance incentives based on games finished if he does end up pitching in the ninth inning on a regular basis. The right-hander received a lot of interest, including several multi-year offers. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...e2007&fext=.jsp
I can't believe they paid 4.2 Million for a reliever who has a LONG history of arm problems, and he has the potential to make over $7.5 million/year.

Possible trade that would send Delmon Young to Twins and Matt Garza to the Rays.

Here's how the Santana Sweepstakes currently shake out ...
1. Yankees. They have the money to pay Santana and the prospects to get a deal done, even if they don't include untouchable sensation Joba Chamberlain. The Twins likely will try to pry Phil Hughes from the Yankees, who hope a combination of Ian Kennedy, Melky Cabrera and other prospects will suffice. The Yankees are suddenly well-stocked in the minors, with pitchers Alan Horne, Daniel McCutchen and Kevin Whelan and outfielders Jose Tabata, Austin Jackson and Brett Gardner. Odds to land Santana: 2-to-1.
2. Red Sox. The Twins are pressuring Boston to include center field prodigy Jacoby Ellsbury along with World Series-clinching pitcher Jon Lester in a four-player package. However, with Boston refusing to budge on no-hit wonder Clay Buchholz, the Red Sox may have a hard time convincing the Twins to do a deal without Ellsbury. Boston also has decent second-tier guys, such as outfielder Brandon Moss, pitchers Michael Bowden and Justin Masterson and shortstop Jed Lowrie. They can't have the desperation of the Yankees, who are playing catch-up, though. Odds to land Santana: 5-to-2.

" Kazuo Matsui: The free-agent second baseman will sign with either the Astros or the Cubs before the week runs out, according to the Denver Post. "
Please let it be the Cubs, I'd rather see Burke at 2nd. Also, Matsui only batted .249 on the road. If the Cubs get him, its reportedly a three year deal.

Milledge to the Nats for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church.
Schneider replaces Estrada who will likely be dealt in the next few weeks.
