Bruce Levine (ESPN 1000) and WGN Radio confirm. Now Bruce Miles confirms.

[VanceJergins]

Have they said anything about the money?

[minnesotacubsfan]

[ManCrushOnNomar]

And so begins the K-Fuk era in Chicago!

That's how Ichiro does it.

[Rob]

I'd love to hear a reputable source confirm... but I'm feeling a lot better right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

isn't bruce levine usually wrong? or am i thinking of someone else.

[killthegoat06]

In response to your lineup in the other thread

 

Roberts

Fukudome

Lee

Ramirez

Soriano

Soto

Theriot

Pie

 

I would do that too but isn't Piniella still going to leave Soriano in leadoff? That'd be great if he moved down though. Soto would give him protection. :D

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BCVM22]

He was advised by Alex Ochoa while playing in Japan to wear "KOSUKE" on any possible future MLB uniform, as "FUKUDOME" just might not translate.

American players warned him about his name during the WBC, I believe. Rumor has it, he decided then to use his first name.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

4 years @ 12.5 million ain't bad at all.

[BCVM22]

I'd love to hear a reputable source confirm... but I'm feeling a lot better right now.

 

Levine on 1000 and Kaplan on WGN have both confirmed it.
