From that article....
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to Bruce Levine, Paul Bako will cost the Cubs more than what Henry Blanco signed for with the Padres (Blanco signed a one-year, $750,000 contract earlier in the week). Levine said Bako will not cost the Cubs $500,000 as rumored, but between $700,000 - $800,000.
The Cubs apparently were not thrilled with Blanco's play last year and with the fact Bako is a left-handed hitter would give them more flexibility. Levine added Henry Blanco is a good addition to the Padres and he will be a Major League manager one day.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not sure how much more they could have asked of Blanco last season. I don't get that at all.
