Salary Arbitration
Cubs Sign Gaudin, Tender Rest of Arbitration Eligible Players
Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 12/12/2008 - 4:59pm.
No suprise here, but the Cubs end up offering contracts to all of their arbitration eligible players that Arizona Phil went through this morning.
They even got Chad Gaudin to sign a one-year deal already, terms have yet be to be disclosed.
This seemed like a no-brainer to me once they dropped the Jake Peavy pursuit. None of these guys will be making much and all could provide some sort of usefulness next season.
6:10 PM CST: It looks like Neal Cotts signed as well. Sullivan says Gaudin will get $2 million, and Cotts will get $1.1 million.
1:20 AM CST: Add Reed Johnson as well for $3 milllion.

Looking Ahead
Submitted by Arizona Phil on Fri, 04/25/2008 - 11:23am.
For those of you who might be interested in looking ahead a little bit, he are projections for the Cubs 2009 payroll, potential Cubs free-agents, Cubs players eligible for salary arbitration, 2009 minor league option status for Cubs players presently on the 40-man roster, potential post-2008 Cubs minor league free-agents, and Cubs minor league players who will be eligible for the December 2008 Rule 5 Draft.
Remember, these are projections based on the way things stand right now, and are very much subject to change.
