According to a report from Bruce Levine, Ryan Theriot's arbitration hearing is set for Friday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Jim Hendry will leave for Florida on Thursday for the hearing ... the Cubs' first since 1993.
Scott Nelson, Crane Kenney and Harry Zinn, special counsel for the arbitration hearing will join Hendry.
Ryan Theriot submitted a $3.4 million number in his first year of arbitration eligibility ... the Cubs offered $2.6 million.
Theriot will have his agents at the hearing. The ruling will be announced within 24 hours after the hearing.
Stay Tuned ....



















Everyone see the newest signing out of Korea?
I read he is 18 and throws low 90's.
Hopefully he ends up being worth the $1.2 million
Thank you for posting. Not much info out there on him.
Hey Neil, I have read and heard all about Geo losing the weight and being 40 lighter for camp, have you seen any photos of what he looks like in camp?
Here is a link to 'Boys of Spring' with a good photo of Soto

Paul Sullivan described his weight loss as "losing half a person."
There is also a video in this morning's post of Soto in the cage.
