The Curse of Wrigley Field

The Cubs inked Geovany Soto to a one year, $3 million deal and in the process, they avoided arbitration with the backstop.  Soto hasn’t been able to find the stick that helped him win the Rookie of the Year back in 2008 but his 2010 wasn’t nearly as bad as his 2009 season.  It’ll be interesting to see how he’s recovering from shoulder surgery since that’s what cut his season short last year.

The Cubs still have four guys they have to contend with that are arbitration elgible including the newly acquired Matt Garza.  Sean Marshall, Carlos Marmol and Tom Gorzellany are also on that list.
