if i was jim hendry, i'd offer zambrano 10/200 today and keep him signed up because he'll be winning all 10 years and if the cubs lose him, they are pretty much screwed for years to come.

It's a done deal according to radio stations now 7 years 126 million with an option for an 8th year at 18 million. Wow, so much money for such a mediocre pitcher
