The Chicago Cubs would like to re-sign reliever Kerry Wood.
"He makes us a better organization," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. "That's because of what he brings to the clubhouse as well as his leadership so I'd like to get him back in the fold and move forward with him."
Wood, 34, had a solid season as a setup man, going 3-5 with one save, 21 holds and a 3.35 ERA before he was shut down in September to undergo left knee surgery.
It was second stint with the Cubs after spending his first 10 years with the club.

The Chicago Cubs' past is pretty much well known.
After all, when a team extends its World Series drought to 103 years, it's safe to say that history is a weighty issue in the Windy City.
On Friday, Dale Sveum did his best to put the past in place as he was introduced as the new Cubs manager.

Tyler Colvin is rumored to be the player going to the Boston Red Sox as compensation for Theo Epstein. That would be the greatest thing of all time, as Tyler Colvin isn’t going to be a guy the Cubs were hoping he would be, and with the Cubs having a ton of talent in their outfield throughout the minor leagues- I don’t think anyone will miss Colvin.
