"WOOHOO, I'm a millionaire!"
The numbers exchanged were $2.5 million from Marmol and $1.75 million from the Cubs.
He signed at $2.125, which, in typical Cubs fashion, was directly in the middle of the two numbers.
The title was meant to be humorous...this actually is a good, fair deal for Marmol and the Cubs who is going into his first full year as a closer. Hopefully he will have his mechanics fixed up and start getting on top of his pitches again this season.
