The Curse of Wrigley Field

I talked about the offer the Cubs made to Notre Dame standout Jeff Samardzija and now the two sport star has chosen to sign on with the Cubs.  Samardzija will make a guaranteed $10 million over the life of the five year contract and he also has full no-trade clause.  The team has a couple of options and if he’s the real deal, we should see Samardzija in a Cubs uniform through 2013.

It looks like the standout starter will make his debut at High A in 2007.  I’ll be sure to follow his progress through out the season next year.
