http://www.suntimes.com/output/cubs/...t-cubnt11.htmlChicago Sun-Times (scroll down): "His future is made more uncertain by the fact the Cubs would like to re-sign center fielder Juan Pierre. Pierre's decision might hinge on whether Baker returns, but Pierre wouldn't comment on that speculation."
If he is awaiting a decision on Baker's future, he will likely not be a Cub next year. Unless things are going on the opposite end of what I have been heraing. But the media may be way out of whackas usual when they talk about Baker being fired and all.
Anyhow, do the Cubs need Pierre? If so, how bad?
