I mean the Cubs have such a great track record at this. Cory Patterson, Eric Patterson and Felix Pie are prime examples.
Theriot is a quality ball player that has been an everyday player on a division champion/contending team for multiple years and been getting league minimum. He's not asking for a private clubhouse here.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That Choi character too, he was a great talent.
You're right, he's not asking for a suite. But he made $500,000 last year and is asking for $3.4 million, or a 680% raise. The Cubs offered a 520% raise. Can you imagine you or I getting a 520% raise? That would be huge.
