Kerry Wood Re-Signed!
Today, the Chicago Cubs re-signed Kerry Wood for 1 year 4.2 million guaranteed with another 3 million in incentives. Wood is showing his loyalty to the Cubs again by signing for only one year, while he turned down multi-year options with teams such as the Red Sox, Brewers and Padres had offered. This move really solidifies the Cubs bullpen for next year as they have one of the best 7-8-9 inning punch in the game with Howry, Marmol and Wood. The signing of Wood also means that Dempster will be a starter for the Cubs now. He will be a good 4th or 5th starter, so it makes me wonder if Marshall or Marquis will go into the bullpen as well or will one of those two be trade bait for some other need that the Cubs may have.
