Cubs, Samardzija avoid arbitration
CHICAGO – Jeff Samardzija strolled into a reception room at the downtown Sheraton Hotel with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand clutching a Stella Artois beer.
Every day is a good day to be Samardzija, but Friday was better than most.
The Cubs agreed to a one-year, $2.64 million deal with Samardzija, thus avoiding salary arbitration. The deal includes an additional $125,000 in possible performance bonuses.
