Bruce, I understand what you are saying. However, at the same time I can't help but wonder why? If Aramis wants to stay in Chicago If Hendry wants Aramis to stay in Chicago Then, shouldn't they have worked out the parameters of a contract before this? I mean, holy crist, he's only been the most productive Cub player for the last three years (combined). What is the problem? He's 28, he's arguably one the best players at his position in MLB, and he's publically stated he wants to be in Chicago. I can't help but panic. I bolded the part I question. Aramis may have stated such as a matter of public face. I have to believe the bulk of this issue falls on his shoulders, and not the organization. Is he really going to come out and say he doesn't want to be here?
