Mike Fontenot- $1 million
Jeff Baker- $975,000
Angel Guzman-$825,000
Tom Gorzelanny- $800,000
Koyie Hill- $700,000
There are three arbitration-eligible players that want more money than the Cubs offered. Those players are Ryan Theriot, Carlos Marmol, and Sean Marshall. According to Cubs.Com's Carrie Muskat...
Ryan Theriot is asking for $3.4 million; Cubs offered $2.6 million.
Carlos Marmol is asking for $2.5 million; Cubs offered $1.75 million.
Sean Marshall is asking for $1.175 million; Cubs offered $800,000
The only offer from the Cubs that I really think is questionable here is the Marmol one, as I thought he'd get at least $2 million. I would've guessed $800,000-900,000 with Marshall, and thought Theriot's deal would be around $2-2.5 million. Both of those are right in line with what the Cubs thought as well apparently.
As for Theriot, I just don't think a bad defensive shortstop that had just a .712 OPS this season and has clearly lost a step(very noticeable on the basepaths, where he's also an idiot by the way) should be getting over $3 million. But then again, Jerry Hairston just pulled in over $2 million.
