It looks like I need to drop two more. This is a tough pill to swallow. I think I made my mistakes in getting rid of the big Cub contracts at the onset, but the new direction of the franchise is going to a fountain of youth, so here it goes...
DROP CI Hafner, Travis, $14.5m (2012)
Cap hits of $13m (2010), $8.5m (2011), and $4.5m (2012)
DROP RP Farnsworth, Kyle, $4.5m (2011)
Cap hits of $4m (2010), $2.5m (2011)
This saves me $2m this year and frees up headaches that I acquired in order to get rid of bigger headaches. The future of the Cubs looks bright.
