The Chicago Cubs have signed Free Agent Outfield Kouske Fukudome to a 4 year contract!


Fukudome, a native of Japan was a huge part of Japan winning the 2006 Baseball Classic.

Terms of the deal where believed to be in the neighborhood of 4 years at 50 million.


Definately a HUGE signing for the Cubs!


BTW: His name is pronouced Foo-koo-doe-me

Kudos to the Cubs for getting him. Did they have to go the route of the Red Sox with Dice-K? I mean is this a $50Mil. deal, or more like a $100 Mil. deal?

^ Fukudome was a free agent, which meant no posting fee.

It was Friday the 8th. Isn't the CFP Kitchen around the corner on the 7th floor kinda hidden?

^yep. and I was there that day. For a big city, i tend to run into A LOT of people there inadvertantly (i just saw my 1st grade teacher in Macys a couple of weeks back). GO CUBS this year, anyone else getting tickets for games this year?!?! I'm hoping to go to at least 3 games in the bleachers after my 21st b-day!
