I still don't understand why we couldn't have just given him a one year deal as it sounds like he would've been happy with that (I guess Hendry felt that would've been a disservice to him), but oh well. He will be missed.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
From everything I've read in the press Kerry only made mention of a 1 year deal after we declined to offer arbitration to him.

I don't follow the media that closely, so I think you know more about it then me. I was just going from an article back on Nov. 14th right after the Cubs announced that Wood probably wouldn't be coming back, and a couple weeks before he was declined arbitration:
"If the Cubs had offered Wood a one-year deal, the pitcher said he would've considered it."

However, just because he would "consider" it doesn't necessarily mean he would accept the offer, but my guess is that he would've, but who knows. Doesn't really matter anymore.
