November 26, 200718 yr According to ESPN Radio 1000, the Cubs have signed Kerry Wood to a one-year contract worth $4 million. If true, Wood may have turned down multi-year offers from other teams to remain in Chicago. General manager Jim Hendry said previously that he was only interested in retaining Wood as a reliever, so he could get a chance to close. - Rotoworld. Good deal for the Cubs. I was interested in him for the Sox to a degree, surprised he only took a one year deal given his injury risk. Must love Chicago.
November 27, 200718 yr I'm glad that Wood has been content with staying with the Cubs, hopefully he'll be able to go for a full season this year.
November 28, 200718 yr If he can keep that arm together he'll be a great closer. He showed he can thrive under pressure situations during the 2003 playoffs.
