Bobby Howry

Rumor has it that the Cubs made an offer to ex-Sox closer and Cleveland set-up man Bob Howry -- something in the range of $12M for 3 years. If they can get Howry to go along with Eyre, that would be a solid start to upgrading the bullpen. Still, $23M for two set-up men seems like a boatload of money that may lead to excuses as to why they can't sign a leadoff hitter, a SS, and another starter...
