Woody Says He "Would Have Done Anything" To Remain In Chicago

Well what initially seemed to be a sad but arguably necessary financial move in letting Kid K depart continues to seem like more of a head-scratcher. 

Yes, had Kerry demanded a 3+ year deal it probably would've been time to say goodbye. But here he comes out and says essentially he would have accepted a one year offer at a hometown discount?

What the shit Hendry?

You don't even make an offer? Instead you send Jose Ceda (our #3 prospect according to Baseball Prospectus) over to Florida for Kevin Gregg, who we all remember had his dreams crushed by Daryle Ward last August.

Woody was, and is, the consummate professional. The face of the franchise. As good a character guy as you'll find. This is very disheartening.

If what seems set in stone does indeed come to pass then good luck Kerry. You will be missed.
