The Tribune's Fred Mitchell has proof.

Update: My post several days ago about which Cub players were at the ends of their contracts was, well, almost completely wrong. Considering that my wife now has responsibility for balancing the family checkbook and managing our finances and does a far better job of it than I ever did, I should know better than to try to evaluate or understand Major League player contracts.

You'll find an authoritative summary of the contract status of the current Cub players, authored by The Cub Reporter's inestimable Arizona Phil, right here.
