During that series there was a blurb in the Trib about how Harris had a money dispute when he signed with the Cubs. Apparently Hendry promised him 900k and when he signed Jim said there was only 600k for him. Lenny said he would've stayed home and taken the Marlins offer for 600k had he known that. The whole Lenny Harris nightmare could've been avoided with some tightwad honesty.

Long Live Lenny Harris!
