No Aramis
Ramirez is off the TABLE.
The Chicago Cubs on Sunday announced that the club has agreed to a five-year deal with Aramis Ramirez that will keep the third baseman with the Cubs through the 2011 season. The contact also includes a mutual option for the 2012 season.
Perfectly fine with me. It would have been nearly impossible not to overpay for him. Now we can start paying attention to the outfield and the starting pitching, without having to worry about whether or not Ned is going to use up all his payroll on a decent - but far from star - third baseman.
I’m more disappointed about Wood. Would have liked to give him a shot, if he had been willing to take an incentive-heavy contract.
