Nomar signing first piece of good news lately

It's about time one of the "name" free agents picked a home, as Garciaparra has signed with the Cubs- link

Just to recap, Nomar rejected a $60 million deal with the Red Sox that would have averaged $15 million a year last winter. In pouting over the Alex deal (that never happened of course), he went to a team that missed the playoffs and got to watch his old team win the World Series.

With his wife retiring from soccer, Nomar gets to live in Chicago instead of the same town he built his new house; AND, he gets to make $8 million instead of $15 mil.

Wow, way to think it through Nomar.

But anyway, free agent signings are finally happening, and all baseball fans can begin talking about something other than steroids.

Good news indeed.
