- Sorry for the misleading title. Reed Johnson has signed a 1 year deal with the LA Dodgers worth $800,000 plus incentives. In my opinion, this is a steal, and the Cubs should have gave Reed this offer.
- Kevin Gregg, another '09 Cub, also fell today agreeing to a $2.75M deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. The deal also contains options and incentives.
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports that the Cubs are one of four teams keeping track of RHP Kris Benson this winter.
- Jon Heyman said last week on MLB Network that the Cubs are the most likely destination for free agent pitcher Chan Ho Park.
- Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune says that reliever Joe Nelson is interested in joining the Cubs.
- Check out CCO's great Q&A with Cubs play-by-play man Len Kasper.
- In other former Cub news, Mark Prior is still working on a comeback. Will the Cubs sign him to buddy with Carlos Silva?... ah nevermind.
- Xavier Nady doesn't think it will take him to much time to get back to 100% (coming off Tommy John).
- The Cubs are going to take their time with Nady, because they want him to be healthy for years to come once he does come back.
- The Cubs front office is split on the upcoming Super Bowl. General Manager Jim Hendry is a Colts fan, while assistant GM Randy Bush roots on the Saints. Click the link for a great article by Bruce Miles.
- Muskat gives us the latest on Marmol and Theriot.
- Thanks to TCR for this one- Andrew Cashner is gunning for a spot in the starting rotation.
That's it for now, but I'll keep you posted on Everything Cubs as always!
