The biggest news out of the first day of on field workouts was the three-year, $20 million deal signed by Carlos Marmol. The Cubs backloaded the contract that buys Marmol out of his last two years of arbitration eligibility and his first year of free agency. Marmol received a $1 million signing bonus as a part of his $3.2 million salary for 2011. Marmol will receive $7 million in 2012 and $9.8 million in 2013. Marmol's contract included a limited no-trade clause.
The Cubs debuted the commemorative patch they will wear this season for Ron Santo. Every uniformed member of the Cubs will wear a #10 patch in honor of the Cubs' legend.
