CrazyCarl40 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Zambrano deal for five years, $90 million in Chicago ESPN.com news services Updated: August 17, 2007, 10:08 AM ET CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Carlos Zambrano isn't going anywhere. Zambrano has signed a five-year contract extension valued at $90 million, ESPN Radio 1000 is reporting. Zambrano and the Cubs have been negotiating since the beginning of the season, but the impending sale of the team by the Tribune Company put the deal on hold. Zambrano has had a solid season, and the value of the deal is approximate $10 million more than it would have been in April. Johan Santana is going to be a hot property now.

PFSIKH Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I guess he gave them a hometown discount. I thought he was suppossed to get around 140 million? I guess Cubbies are feeling the pressure of all the teams ending their droughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
