## Resource

Jake Woodford’s Cubs stint is over — he’s officially a free agent after a brief, rough debut with the team. Once a reliever with eight MLB seasons under his belt, mostly in the NL Central, Woodford’s career has been defined by high ERAs and losing records. Though he’s 29 and still young, his recent struggles and limited innings make him a likely minor league deal candidate. Will he find a new MLB home or head back to the minors? The answer’s still up in the air. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
