Rick Santorum's Wife Sued Doctor For $500,000 In 1999
You know it's a slow baseball day when the tumultuous futures of Cliff Floyd, Steve Trachsel, and Daryle Ward appear to be the biggest story out there. Nonetheless, the show must go on: the Cubs have decided to bring back pinch-hitter extraordinaire Ward, while declining options on Floyd and Trachsel. The moves both preserve Ward's hallowed status as the Cubs' best bench player last season, and free up more time for him in right field. In the meantime, declining options for Floyd and Trachsel -- which Floyd seemed to sense early in the offseason -- frees up about $9.5 million for the Cubs next season.
What will they do with that extra money? Curt Schilling is not out of the question, nor are Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez. Still, given the nebulous ownership situation on the north side, the likelihood that the Cubs make any sort of free agent splash this offseason, even one of those tiny ones the Olympic divers make, is little to none.
But yeah, Daryle Ward. Exciting. Where is Scott Boras when we need him?
