       Not many Cubs participating in the WBC, which is fine with me.

       Apparently, he did...as I was typing up the last post, MLB Trade
       Rumors posts that he's agreed to a $10.25 million deal.

       Garza's contract is "only" a $750K raise over 2012.  Even with
       the half-season injury, that's a pretty favorable deal for the
       Cubs.  That may be a good sign for eventually signing him to an
       extension if he shows he's healthy.

       Cubs have settled with Samardzija and Russell, so no arbitration
       hearings this year.  No terms yet.

       Samardzija at $2.64 million; Russell at $1.075 million.  Sounds
       about right for Russell, but I would've thought Samardzija
       would've gotten more.
       Just read a tweet that says Samardzija made the same salary last
       year.  Wow, that's really good.

       I read a quote from Soriano from the convention where he says he
       wants to finish his career with the Cubs.  If the Cubs try to
       trade him, it sounds like it's going to take some convincing for
       him to go.

       Small smattering of boos for Marmol and one or two for Sori at
       convention. #Cubs

       Why boo Marmol?  He agreed to the trade.
       Why boo Soriano?  He blew a WS ring.
