The Cubs, who have a major need for a veteran right handed reliever are moving towards finalizing a deal with free agent Kerry Wood.
----------
Wood has made Chicago his permanent home and told me just last week that whatever decision he made about where he would pitch in 2011 had to be a good fit for his family. Being able to stay home and his longtime relationship with Cubs general manager Jim Hendry are huge factors in the Cubs favor.
I have mixed feelings about this news. The Yankees do certainly have a need for something of a sure thing in the bullpen, and Wood (when healthy) could fill that role admirably. On the other hand, the rumored cost is a bit prohibitive for a set-up man - particularly one with a resume riff with injuries and inconsistency. He certainly isn't the type of pitcher that the Yankees should throw a ton of money at, but he does toe the line between want and need.
What do you think? Where do you see the Yankees going from here?
