New Cubs' pitcher Neal Cotts has some pretty ambitious ideas. Cotts and his agent negotiated a $150,000 bonus in his contract with the Cubs -- for being named World Series MVP, according to a Chicago Tribune story.
This is laughable. His success with the Chicago White Sox and winning a World Series championship in 2005 must have gone to his head. Does Cotts realize what team he's dealing with? This is the Chicago Cubs, a team that has not gone to the World Series since 1945 and has not won one in nearly a century. Does he really think the Cubs will win a World Series while he is with the team? Even if they did, the chances that Cotts would be named MVP is slim. He'd have better luck playing the Illinois State lottery. Good luck.
