Chicago Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano will be receiving $18 million a season for this year and the next three years. His total contract was for $136 million over eight seasons.At times, Soriano has shined. More often though, the Cubs outfielder has been an example of failure.Soriano was actually not a bad player before he arrived in Chicago. Before his first season in Chicago, Soriano batted .277 with 46 home runs, 95 RBIs and 41 stolen bases during his single-season stint with the Washington Nationals. No wonder he received the contract he did.I don't think Jim Hendry initially was making a mistake ...
The Chicago Cubs will be doing something for the first time in nine years.This upcoming offseason, the Cubs will be exploring new options for their general manager position.

Is that not what I am supposed to say, right now?Honestly, next year is not the year. And neither is the year after that ...
With the proposed renovations on Wrigley Field possibly shutting down the stadium for a season or two, the Chicago Cubs will be looking for a new place to call home during that time.The Cubs obviously would need to stay close to keep the crowds coming in. I know the Cubs have a huge following coast to coast, but they would need to stay within the area.There are a few options that Tom Rickets and the Cubs can take a look at, but I don't know if some of these locations would settle well with the hometown fans.The stadium owners will ...
