TweetPrior and Cubs Settle at $3.65 Million
CHICAGO - Mark Prior and the Chicago Cubs agreed Friday to a $3.65 million, one-year contract, $900,000 more than the salary he would have earned under the contract he voided in November.
Prior was 18-6 in 2003, when the Cubs were within five outs of reaching the World Series, but dropped to 17-11 over the past two season. A sore elbow caused him to start last season on the disabled list, and when he came back he was hit in the elbow by a line drive. He finished 11-7 with a 3.67 ERA.
Under his previous contract, he had the right to terminate his deal once he became eligible for salary arbitration. He had asked for $4 million in arbitration and had been offered $3.3 million.
Prior's deal with Chicago includes bonuses for finishing high in voting for MVP and Cy Young, winning a Gold Glove or Silver Slugger and making the All-Star team.
Chicago has four players remaining in arbitration: right-hander Carlos Zambrano, center fielder Juan Pierre, left-hander Will Ohman and infielder Jerry Hairston Jr.

TweetUnfuckingbelieveable. Has the guy even been health for 1 full year after the 2003 season? He's been on the DL most of the time. And when he's not on the DL, I thought he was getting torched. God, what a world we live in. I'm jealous.
